Ain't that the truth...

The pastor at our church is starting a series on marriage at the moment. He likes to start with an amusing anecdote and this one really tickled Vicky and I...

It seems a group of men and a group of women were asked to work out if computers were male or female.

The men though that computers were like women because:

1)They talk to each other in a language only other computers can understand.

2)Once you've made a mistake it gets stored in long-term memory for ever.

3) They have an internal logic only their creator understands.

4)Once you've made a commitment to one you find yourself spending half your salary on accessories.

On the other hand, the womens' group all agreed that computers were like men because:

1) You find it much easier to work with them once you've turned them on.

2) For something that's supposed to help solve the problem, often it is the problem.

3) Once you make a commitment to one you notice a new, faster, better slimmer one comes along six month later.

4) They store a lot of data but no evidence has yet been found that they can think for themselves.

I thought the women fared rather better than the men.

I also thought it was a little too cynical. Maybe it's because I'm a Mac user. I thought my wife was like my Apple because:

1) She does what I need or want her to do over 99% of the time.

2) She's pretty, efficient, reliable and thoroughly entertaining.

3) She responds well to a single touch.

4) She is totally different to most of my friends.

5) Once you've gone Mac, you'll never go back.
