TIME for HUMORISTIC COMPREHENSION!!


HUMOUR!  

It’s time for some humour! Here is a text I received from a student. THANKS! Manon D. I liked it enough to post it here and have more of you read it! It’s titled Life’s Demerit* System *a mark/point given for choices … and it is indented to enlighten us about a female’s point system!! And of course, made into a joke about men’s behaviour. SORRY! Guys …just need to refresh you on the point system and ladies to test your sense of humour!

All married men will attest to some real wisdom
In the world of romance, one single rule applies: 
MAKE THE WOMAN HAPPY!
Do something she likes, and you get points.
Do something she dislikes, and points are subtracted.
You don't get any points for doing something she expects. 

Sorry, that's the way the game is played.
 
Here is a non-exhaustive guide to the point system:

HER BIRTHDAY

THE FATAL QUESTION

(Of course you lose points no matter what you say!) 

You hesitate in responding. (-10) 
You reply, "Where?" (-35) 
You give any other response. (-20) 


COMMUNICATION 

When she wants to talk about a problem, you listen, displaying what looks like a concerned expression. (+2) 
You listen, for over 30 minutes (+50)
