    Some of these are pretty good...

    ROMANCE MATHEMATICS

    Smart man + smart woman = romance
    Smart man + dumb woman = affair
    Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
    Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy

    OFFICE ARITHMETIC

    Smart boss + smart employee = profit
    Smart boss + dumb employee = production
    Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
    Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime

    SHOPPING MATH

    A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
    A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.

    GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS

    A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
    A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

    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.

    HAPPINESS

    To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a
    little.

    To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.

    LONGEVITY

    Married men live longer than single men, but married men are a lot more willing to die.

    MEMORY

    Any married man should forget his mistakes, there's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

    APPEARANCE

    Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed. Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

    PROPENSITY TO CHANGE

    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.

    DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE

    A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

    COMPREHENSION

    There are 2 times when a man doesn't understand a woman – before marriage and after marriage.

    HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED

    Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

    A young lady recently sent me this: MENtal illness, MENstrual cramps, MENtal breakdown, MENopause, GUYnocologist (poetic spelling)
    --Ever notice how all of women's problems start with men?

    Do you suppose there is any truth in this?

    Okay... I'll tell you my favorite:

    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.

    I heard that one many years ago and I think there's a lot of truth in those two statements.
