The Five Toughest Questions For Men

1.  What are you thinking about?
2.  Do you love me?
3.  Do I look fat?
4.  Do you think she is prettier than me?
5.  What would you do if I died?


Now then, if a man answers incorrectly (i.e, tells the truth), every single one is absolutely guaranteed to explode into a major argument. Below you will find the best possible answer and a listing of answers to avoid.

#1:  What are you thinking about?

The best answer to this is: "I'm sorry if I've been pensive, dear.  I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, thoughtful, caring, intelligent woman you are, and how lucky I am to have met you."

True answer, like the following, must be avoided.
a. Baseball.
b. Football.
c. How fat you are.
d. How much prettier she is than you.
e. How I would spend the insurance money if you died.

#2:  Do you love me?

The proper response is: "YES!"  Or if you feel a more detailed answer is in order:
"Yes, dear."

Inappropriate responses include:
a. Yah, sure, you betcha.
b. Would it make you feel better if I said "yes"?
c. That depends on exactly what you mean by love.
d. Does it matter?
e. Who, me?

#3:  Do I look fat?

The correct answer is an emphatic: "Of course not!"

Among the most inappropriate incorrect answers are:
a. Compared to what?
b. I wouldn't call you fat, but you're not exactly thin.
c. A little extra weight looks good on you.
d. I've seen fatter.
e. Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.

#4:  Do you think she's prettier than me?

Once again, the proper response is an emphatic: "Of course not!"

Frequent incorrect responses include:
a. Yes, but you have a better personality.
b. Not prettier, but definitely thinner.
c. Not as pretty as you, when you were her age.
d. It depends on how you define pretty.
e. Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.

#5:  What would you do if I died?

This is the all-time, no-win question. The real answer, of course, is "Buy a Corvette." , but to say that would be asking for trouble right away. On the other hand, there is no good answer. No matter how you answer, prepared yourself for at least an hour of follow-up questions, usually along lines like these:

Q-   Would you get married again?
A-   Definitely not!

Q-   Why not?  Don't you like being married?
A-   Of course I do.

Q-   Then why wouldn't you remarry?
A-   Okay, I'd get married again.

Q-   You would?
(With a hurtful look on her face)
A-   Yes, I would.

Q-  
(After a long pause) Would you sleep with her in our bed?
A-   Where else would we sleep?

Q-   Would you put away my pictures, and replace them with pictures of her?
A-   That would seem like the proper thing to do.

Q-   And would you let her use my golf clubs?
A-  
(And here’s where you goof) No, she can't use them; she's left-handed.
    And PLEASE, please
pay attention to what my brother tells you here!…
it could save your life!
