: How Come

Hello folks:, ?
(!), ..
How Come
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he wants. A woman will pay $1 for a
$2 item that she doesn't want.
How Come
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man
never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
How Come
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can
spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
How Come
To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot. And not try to
understand her at all.
How Come
Married men live longer than single men. But married men are a lot
more willing to die.
How Come
Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two
people remembering the same thing.
How Come
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed. Women somehow
deteriorate during the night.
How Come
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A
man marries a woman expecting that she won't change and she
does.
How Come
A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says
after that is the beginning of a new argument.
How Come
There are two times when a man doesn't understand a woman,
before marriage and after marriage.
