The 5 questions most feared by men

The 5 questions most feared by men are:

1…What are you thinking about?

2…Do you love me?

3…Do I look fat?

4…Do you think she is prettier than me?

5…What would you do if I died?

What makes these questions so difficult is that every one is guaranteed to explode into a major argument if the man answers incorrectly(i.e., tells the truth).

As a public service, each question is analyzed below, along with possible Responses.

Question # 1: What are you thinking about?

The proper answer to this, of course, is: "I’m sorry if I’ve been pensive, dear. I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, thoughtful, caring, intelligent woman you are, and how lucky I am to have met you." This response obviously bears no resemblance to the true answer,which most likely is one of the following:

a…Baseball.

b…Football.

c…How fat you are.

d…How much prettier she is than you.

e…How I would spend the insurance money if you died.

Perhaps the best response to this question was offered by Al Bundy, who once told Peg, "If I wanted you to know what I was thinking, I would be talking to you!"

Question # 2: Do you love me?

The proper response is: "YES!" or, if you feel a more detailed answer is in order, "Yes, dear." Inappropriate responses include:

a…Oh Yeah, crap loads.

b…Would it make you feel better if I said yes?

c…That depends on what you mean by love. d…Does it matter?

e…Who, me?

Question # 3: Do I look fat?

The correct answer is an emphatic: "Of course not!" Among the incorrect answers are:

a…Compared to what?

b…I wouldn’t call you fat, but you’re not exactly thin.

c…A little extra weight looks good on you.

d…I’ve seen fatter.

e…Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.

Question # 4: Do you think she’s prettier than me?

Once again, the proper response is an emphatic: "Of course not!" Incorrect responses include:

a…Yes, but you have a better personality.

b…Not prettier, but definitely thinner.

c…Not as pretty as you when you were her age. d…Define pretty.

e…Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.

Question # 5: What would you do if I died?

A definite no-win question.

(The real answer, of course, is "Buy a Corvette and a Boat").

WARNING: No matter how you answer this, be prepared for at least an hour of follow-up questions, usually along the these lines:

WOMAN: Would you get married again?

MAN: Definitely not!

WOMAN: Why not-don’t you like being married?

MAN: Of course I do.

WOMAN: Then why wouldn’t you remarry?

MAN: Okay, I’d get married again.

WOMAN: You would? (with a hurtful look on her face) WOMAN: Would you sleep with her in our bed?

MAN: Where else would we sleep?

WOMAN: Would you put away my pictures, and replace them with pictures of her?

MAN: That would seem like the proper thing to do. WOMAN: And would you let her use my golf clubs? MAN: She can’t use them; she’s left-handed

WOMAN: - - - silence - - -

MAN: Oh ( expletive deleted).
