Mel Posted December 22, 2012 #1 Posted December 22, 2012 We have a family gathering at a sister-in law's condo today, about a 15 minute drive. 8:05 AM, I ask my wife, "What time are we due at Cindy's?" The answer----hang on, here it comes---- "We can't go until the potatoes are done." Now, I'm 75 years old, on my second and last marriage. I've been getting answers similar to this from the both of 'em since 1964. All this experience and I still do not understand the logic of our precious ladies. HELP!
mini-muffin Posted December 22, 2012 #2 Posted December 22, 2012 Guess as soon as the potatoes are done you can leave. Not sure where the problem is for ya.:Laugh: Margaret
Barrycuda Posted December 22, 2012 #3 Posted December 22, 2012 Good luck with this one. I think I would find the lochness monster, the 3 hidden Area 51 aliens, and the contents of Eva Brauns purse before we figure those precious creatures out. Just saying...

I just 6 words you have contradicted yourself. Sometimes you have to work for the answer, I just keep asking the same question over and over till the question I asked gets answered. Sometimes I have to but eventually my point gets thru.

HELP!Your problem is trying to understand, explain and reason the workings of the female human brain..
SilvrT Posted December 22, 2012 #7 Posted December 22, 2012 I still do not understand the logic of our precious ladies. HELP! The reason we men don't "get it" is because we make the mistake of ASSuming they use LOGIC (which of course they don't) therefore, it is IMPOSSIBLE for us to understand them.
Snaggletooth Posted December 22, 2012 #8 Posted December 22, 2012 I ran across a book once titled "Understanding Women". Nice cover, well bound and 36 totally blank papers. Pretty much explained every thing.
Marcarl Posted December 22, 2012 #10 Posted December 22, 2012 Now there is an easy answer,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, keep her busy so she can't get at the potatoes and then they won't get done, and by her own admission you can't go until they get done. The question now is,,,, at your age how long can you keep her busy???
billmac Posted December 22, 2012 #11 Posted December 22, 2012 Just tell her your going for a ride and call you when their done.

All I do is start to do something else & it is magically "Time To Go". It doesn't matter what it is - important or not... It will magically be time to leave & my fault we are late because I started to do something. I accept my part in the departure time control & execution. JohnnyB
MiCarl Posted December 22, 2012 #13 Posted December 22, 2012 I have a very good friend that claims he understands why women are the way they are: "They just aint wired right!"

jfoster Posted December 22, 2012 #16 Posted December 22, 2012 I have to ask, did you ask WHY? Just saying.... if you never ask you'll never know.
KarlS Posted December 22, 2012 #17 Posted December 22, 2012 It's a world wide conspiracy and there is nothing we can do about it.

David Hall Posted December 28, 2012 #23 Posted December 28, 2012 I fear no man and only one woman. And it is the fear of thinking that I understand that I fear. I like the 'start another project' approach and will commence to use it starting tomorrow.
BIG TOM Posted December 28, 2012 #24 Posted December 28, 2012 I ASKED TATERS TO ANSWER ME THIS RIDDLE AND SHE LOOKED AT ME LIKE I HAD TWO HEADS...Obviously your wife was in charge of bringing the potatoes to dinner ....Don't ever make me ask Taters to explain anything like this to me again.....Now she looks at me like I'm stupid with that awful SMIRK on her face that she has....I HATE THAT LOOK..........
