Rita Rudner's 50 facts about men. 1.Men like to barbecue. Men will cook if danger is involved. 6.Men are very confident people. My husband is so confident that when he watches sports on television, he thinks that if he concentrates he can help his team.

It makes them feel important. 9.Men love to be the first to read the newspaper in the morning. Not being the first is upsetting to their psyches. 12.Don't try to teach men how to do anything in public. They can learn in private; in public they have to know. 16.Men love watches with multiple functions. My husband has one that is a combination address book, telescope and piano. 17.All men hate to hear "We need to talk about our relationship."

Most men are outrospective: "Did my team win? How's my car?" 35.If a man says, "I'll call you," and he doesn't, he didn't forget... he didn't lose your number... he didn't die. He just didn't want to call you. 38.Getting rid of a man without hurting his masculinity is a problem. "Get out" and "I never want to see you again" might sound like a challenge. If you want to get rid of a man, I suggest saying, "I love you... I want to marry you... I want to have your children." Sometimes they leave skid marks. 40.Impulse buying is not macho. Men rarely call the Home Shopping Network. 41.Men who listen to classical music tend not to spit. 44.Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with superheros.
