With guys it's simple. One grunt means yes, two grunts means no, three grunts means Yes dear I hear every word you say.

Sometimes I tell her the truth. I'm thinking "Whats the flatted third of a C chord? How will it sound if I play the fifth against a minor chord? What about augmented chords and seventh chords? ..."

Sometime during this her eyes glaze over and she says "Oh."

Slobake used confuse. It's super-effective.

I had this happen to me the other night.
We were watching TV and I was spacing out thinking about this really hot woman that came into my shop that day.

There was no way I was going to tell her that. I wasn't going to do the "Nothing" thing because that always leads to trouble so I went into full BS mode.

Her: you are really quiet tonight, what's on your mind?
Me: Well I have a lot on my mind.
Her: Tell me, maybe I can help
Me: Okay, Well, you know I have been running Mobil 1 oil in the truck and my bikes for a while. You know Tony Stewart uses it in his 2011 Nascar championship winning #14 Office Depot Chevrolet so I know it is good stuff. But the way that Brad Keselowski's #2 Miller Lite Dodge ran last year was great and he uses Pennzoil. Do you think I should change to Pennzoil? My truck is a Dodge.

Her: Shhh, the show is starting....

Nice! Occasionally I say that Im working out some things that need to get fixed around the house in my head which gives the illusion that I will soon make progress on something.

Had you simply responded "Take off your pants" it would have been win-win. You could have even continued to think about the attractive woman who came into your shop, if you were so inclined.

I hypothesize that this must mean that a woman is constantly thinking about something, and absolutely never thinking about nothing.

Hmmmmmmmmm........ I may just have to start my own thread with a poll........
That would be interesting. I truly can vegetate when I want to. In fact, it's relaxing every now and then to focus on nothing at all. I can see how women can't wrap their heads around that concept.

For years my wife didn't get naps either. Now she likes it when I take a nap on Sunday afternoon. Hmm ... What's she up to?

There are other gals out there. Love, a lifetime commitment, happy to see me when I get home, mutual respect.

I have one figure that comes to mind when these subject come up.

Dog.

My wife, well ex-wife, could never understand that.

But where's the Soap Opera Drama in that?

Men may seem simple but a Hammond Organ is simply, in theory. A bunch of flutes. Fourier wave analysis, which is what it is when described by a mathematical model is maybe less simple.

Simplifying the complex is a thing of beauty.

Well, it varies depending on the person, but the answer is likely yes if its a show she's interested in.
