Ladies, have you ever noticed that when you ask a man to getsomething for you it seems he can never seem to find it?  Whether it be milk from the refrigeratoror  a stamp to mail a letter.

It’s called man eyes and they all seem to have the sameproblem.

You know how it is . . . you send him to get it and chancesare pretty high that he won’t be able to find it.

I have theory on this phenomenon. 

This is what I believe happens.  You ask with a please and a thank you and allother manner of politeness.  Then suddenly,without inexplicably the man is struck blind . . . selectively blind . . . man eyes.

He can maneuver about without bumping into walls or fallingover furniture but as he approaches his target his vision is suddenly impaired. . . its kind of like reverse tunnel vision. 

My experience has been that its just easier to go and getwhatever it is I need for myself.

And that, girlfriends, is what it all boils down to.  it’s not that they can’t see . . . it’s that they won’tsee. 

If they do it enough times they know that you willeventually give up and stop asking them to do anything for you.  It’s a conspiracy at the highest levels ofmanly deception.

And all you men out there?? We are on to you!
