'Cause that is obviously Wimmen's Work! Plus they complain when we put on Over instead of Under.


I am ashamed to admit, however, I will ask for directions if I cannot find a map in the service station to look it up for myself.

My husband and I are the opposite - he has no problem asking for directions, whereas I always want to find the way on my own.

Does no one carry an atlas in their car anymore??

When I was a child one of my Dads nicknames for me was "The navigator", when we went on trips, my Father let me read the map AND find the camp area we were going to so I had to coordinate the two different sources.

I always managed to find one with a pool.

We have maps (we doan need no steenkin' map). It just doesn't always say turn left here and go halfway down the block - it's on your right, idiot. That's why we get married, so we can be told that every thing we do is wrong - right, Honey?

Please explain yourself!!
Don’t think of it as being lost!

It’s not the “trip” that is important it’s the destination and we men like to know what areas we don’t have to revisit the next time we come this way again.

De Nile is SO in Egypt. And de Amazon is in Brazil. I am never lost, I'm just finding a new route there. And it's not the destination, it's the journey.

As former hunter-gatherers, men are used to operating alone. We are and have to be self-reliant. Society programs us to rise to challenges and to stand on our own 2 feet.

Course if ya believe that, I got some land in Florida ...
