1. "I'M GOING FISHING"
Translated: I'm going to drink myself dangerously stupid, and sit in a boat
with a stick in my hand, while the fish swim by in complete safety."
2. "IT'S A GUY THING"
Translated: "There is no rational thought pattern connected with it, and
you have no chance at all of making it logical."
3. "CAN I HELP WITH DINNER?"
Translated: "Why isn't it already on the table?"
4. "UH HUH, SURE HONEY," or "YES, DEAR"
Translated: Absolutely nothing. It's a conditioned response.
5. "IT WOULD TAKE TOO LONG TO EXPLAIN"
Translated: "I haven't the foggiest."
6. "I WAS LISTENING TO YOU. IT'S JUST . . .I HAVE LOTS OF THINGS ON MY
MIND"
Translated: "Is that woman over there wearing a bra?"
7. "TAKE A BREAK HONEY, YOU'RE WORKING TOO HARD"
Translated: "I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner."
8. "THAT'S INTERESTING, DEAR"
Translated: "Are you still talking?"
9. "YOU KNOW HOW BAD MY MEMORY IS"

owned, I just forgot your birthday."

before I admit that I am hurt."
12. "I'VE GOT MY REASONS FOR WHAT I'M DOING"
Translated: ". . . and I sure hope I think of some soon."
13. "I CAN'T FIND IT"

clueless."
14. "WHAT DID I DO THIS TIME?"
Translated: "What did you catch me at?"
