Man’s brain different? Well, duh!
by Carlos Raigosa, editor-in-chief

     It took a researcher time and money to figure out that men don’t listen to things as well as women. Wow, what a finding! I could have told you that from personal experience.

     Tack that on to the other known differences: on the average, men make more money than women, keep only the essentials in the bathroom and have a higher bowling average.

     I have discovered other differences between the sexes through some non-scientific experiments.

     A man has seven items in the bathroom (at least reasonable, non-feminine fellas)—a toothbrush, toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of Dial soap, deodorant and a towel from the Holiday Inn. Women, well, I’ve lost count, and half of their stuff can’t be easily identifiable without the help of an expert and a DNA analysis.

     Women dress up to go to the grocery store, to pump gas and to go to Blockbuster to get a movie. I dress up for two occasions—weddings and funerals.

     Let’s leave the whole bathroom thing out of the equation. I’d feel extremely awkward if a buddy asked me to go to the bathroom with him. What’s so hard about going to the bathroom by yourself? And how come girls never ask me to join them in this sacred temple?

     To their credit, we do not decorate our penmanship. We just chicken scratch.

     Women use scented, colored stationary, and they dot their i’s with circles and hearts. Women use ridiculously large loops in their p’s and g’s. It is a royal pain to read a note from a woman. Even when she’s dumping you, she’ll put a smiley face at the end of the note.

     I will give this to women—they are the sexier of the two genders, but have you noticed that men wake up as good-looking as when they went to bed?

     Women somehow deteriorate during the night; it’s almost like a little fairy comes out and sprinkles ugly dust on them. Maybe someone should do some research into this phenomenon.

     It’s only obvious that the differences between the sexes are numerous and planted deeper than any kind of brain scanner can ever discover.
