Rigger's Diary: Women ARE stupid after all
 

Over the last few years I'd almost started to believe the PC propaganda
that women are as clever as us, but after yesterday's events I know it
isn't true.
As I headed back to the job at lunchtime with my chips I found the road
blocked by a small red car, sitting in the middle of the road with its
hazard warning lights on. I parked and walked across and asked the
driver, who was what I would categorise as a typical daughter (young,
pretty, blonde) what the problem was. She said "It just won't go." She
continued to engage the starter. I suggested that we push the car into
a driveway so the traffic could flow. I then asked her to turn the
ignition on. A large yellow light on the dashboard with a picture of a
petrol pump on it glowed brightly. The fuel gauge needle didn't move. I
pointed these symptoms out. She said quite indignantly "Well it's not
that light. It's been on all week."
Later I went into a flat and immediately noticed a smell of burning. In
order to dig out the aerial socket I lifted the TV set off the wall
unit. I then found a power supply unit of the type often used with
laptops, wrapped in a plastic bag and sealed up with selotape. It was
very hot indeed. It was the power supply for the DTT box, which was
showing a standby light but turned out to be faulty. I explained to the
lady that it wasn't a good idea to wrap up things like that . She said
that when the power supply had started to smell (a few days after the
receiver had failed)she had wrapped it up in an attempt to prevent the
smell getting into the room.

That's so funny Bill... And yes it proves that women are indeed * S * T * U
* P * I * D *.

All this girl-power is nothing but tripe. I blame the media for trying to
con us all.

The kitchen sink is still the best option for women.

Much though I thought Bill's post was funny, I don't think that anyone
would seriously claim that women are less intelligent than men.

Men and women have different strengths and weaknesses, with women the
weakness just happen to be practical, such as: gadgets, directions,
maps, parking etc.

You try listening to TV while having a conversation. Men can't, women
can. And do the ironing at the same time ...

Read the book "Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps", it
explains everything. Changed the way I viewed women completely.

So, in all seriousness, would this mean that Hermaphrodites are not only
superb at parking and map navigation, but are equally skilled at working
gadgets and mutlitasking?

Or would it mean they are crap at everything?

My nan used to put sellotape over power sockets to prevent the electricity
leaking into the room

It doesn't depend on your genitals, it depends on the way your brain
forms during pregnancy. See:

I thought the whole point was that Hermaphrodites (at birth) are neither
male or female. Therefore one who grows up without pressure to lean towards
male or female, would be right on the centreline between male and female,
and thus would either possess both male and female skills, or possess
neither.

What do you reckon?

Stupid mysoginistic twerp.

The traditional dictionary definition of Hermaphrodite is

"a person or animal having both male and female sex organs or other sexual
characteristics."

This definition refers only to physical characteristics, not the
psychological matter of what a person considers their 'gender role' to be.

The term 'intersexual' is now used instead of hermaphrodite when referring
to humans.

Ah, good old Grandma Williamson, God rest her soul. She took the bulb
out of the outside privvy light in winter so the electric didn't freeze
up and burst the wires. In her later years she became deaf so I
connected a pair of ex-army headphones to her telly. Mains voltages in
the headphones, but I was only 14 and didn't know better. She got an
occasional tingle from them, and declared they were helping her
rheumatics. She took to wearing them all the time to derive maximum
theraputic benefit, even when she went to the corner shop.
Her neighbour known locally as Mental Meggie, was insane (I'm not using
the word loosely) and on one occasion threw a bucket of water over me
as I slept in my pram. My dad went round and held her head under water
for some considerable time. That was how mental health issues were
dealt with in those days, I suppose.

You must mean "misogynistic". Was your English teacher female by any chance?





That's a joke by the way.......don't have a breakdown.
