July 30. “Button, a friend of Dost’s sent him this mail on women.

I laughed my guts out reading it because it is so familiar. And I am still laughing.”

“Let me read it.”

We don’t understand Women : Their “Whatever” “Anything” OR “You Decide”

1 . (Whatever)

Men: What should we have for dinner?

Women: Whatever…

Men: Why don’t we have Mexican?

Women: No not Mexican, the last time I got pimples on my buttocks.

Men: All right, why don’t we have Szechwan cuisine

Women: Yesterday we ate Szechwan, today too?

Men: Hmm….. I suggest we have seafood

Women: Seafood is not good, I got diarrhea

Men: Then what do you suggest?

Women : Whatever..

2. (Anything)

Men: So what should we do now?

Women: Anything

Men: How about watching a movie? It’s been a long time

Women: Watching movie is no good, it’s a waste of time

Men: How about we go for bowling, or some exercises?

Women: Exercise on such a hot day?

Men: Then find a cafe and have a drink

Women: I am off caffeine

Men: Then what do you suggest?

Women: Anything

3. (You decide)

Men: Then do we just go home?

Women: You decide

Men: Let’s take the bus, I will accompany you

Women: The bus is dirty and crowded.

Men: OK; we will take a cab

Women: Not worth it… For such a short distance

Men: All right, then we can walk. We can enjoy the weather

Women: I am hungry, can’t walk.

Men: Then what do you suggest?

Women: You decide

Men: Let’s have dinner first?

Women: Whatever…

Men: What shall we eat?

Women: Anything..

“This is simply hilarious. I must send it to Katrina with a note saying—Sounds familiar. I’ll have to be cautious though so I don’t get clobbered when we meet up. Katrina is so humorless, it’s not funny!”
