Men have a way of not saying much. Except when they are in the company of other men. They interrupt each other without any fuss and without anyone noticing it. Wait, I will get you another beer…………. That is just the way with men and the beauty with men they have this incredible, peaceful and good camaraderie amongst themselves. They understand each other! “Hey, par 3, how are you?” “Hell, your tummy is really getting big now”. “Don’t lie man! You never get that size of fish in Margate!” “You touch my braai fire once more and I will “bliksem” you! (Protection of territory). “Rather go and get us another beer” “Remember you were one of those guys that wrote Percy off? What did I tell you?” “He still can’t defend, man” “And that game against the Bulls, (Date and time) “Bull man!” “You have to admit, Percy has the technique!” “That is what you guys with the small feet always say” “With ears like yours I will not even give my opinion, something must have gone wrong when you were born”. “I believe you bought yourself a 4X4. You should have bought the X3YZ ST1 model. Didn’t you do your homework first?” (Men always do their homework before major purchases). As soon as a woman appears, “why are you arguing like this about nothing?” Immediately the men are quiet – surprised – amazed – even bewildered. “What is she talking about? Who is arguing?” “But why are you talking louder and louder?” (Wait till they start singing). As soon as women mentioned anything about men to a female friend, you get the silent treatment, tears, nail clawing, civil war and later kiss and make up – with peace and harmony. “You know what she said to me?, it does not seem as if your diet is working for you”. “She should be ashamed! I always thought she has eyes like a gecko!” Amongst men, you have an unwritten rule that nobody disobeys! You never say anything nasty about the women in each other’s life. Not his mother, wife, sister or aunt. “Did you say my wife is a gecko?” You do not want to contemplate the consequences. (“I said she is behaving like a gecko”). One man will never tell a friend his wife has a beautiful body. That is looking for trouble. (As long as you think about it you are loyal but as soon as you mention it, you are history minus a beer). This is the way men understand each other in their own language. “Did you hear about the guy that walked into the pub with a talking duck?” Men also laugh about their own jokes. “I cannot understand your language” she says. “Is it necessary to carry on like that over Percy and a 4X4? And what is so funny about a man walking into the pub with a duck that can talk? Why don’t you rather talk to me?” “What do you want me to say?” She goes off to the kitchen. All of a sudden the electricity is out. (Bleddie Eskom). She light some candles……….very romantic atmosphere…let us sit and chat on the carpet, you suggest. Much later you quietly go back to the main switch……….. Let us face it, even being a woman myself, men are truly less complicated!.......lol
