Women don't talk any more than men do. I've had men talk my ears off for hours about stupid things I don't know or care about like baseball. Why should I care who's going to win the World Series? What importance does it have in the scheme of things? And now I'll be hearing ad nauseum about the New England Patriots winning the Superbowl. Yeah, Tom Brady is cute--Giselle Budchen is a lucky woman--but that's where my interest in the Pats begins and ends. With cute Tom Brady. Whom I met once in an elevator and mistook for a Boston Red Sox Baseball player because I don't know anything about sports. Still trying to live down with my friends that I actually congratulated him for the Red Sox winning against the Yankees the night before. "You did fantastic!" I told him. He was nice about it though. Didn't correct me or get all huffy. Just smiled--God he's cute. I was hoping he'd ask me out because I'm cute too and this was before he met Giselle but alas, he didn't. The point is, you're wrong Bob that women talk more than men. Just last week I had to listen to my boss tell me all about about how he's panelling his ',man cave' down in his basement. Do you Australian men have man caves too or is that just an American thing? I've met a few Australian men in my time and, frankly, they belonged in a cave. They talked a lot too. Not once did any of them say "Crikey" though which I was kind of disappointed about. They didn't think it was funny either when I asked them if they knew Crocodile Dundeee. I suppose every Australian gets asked that. It probably hasn't been funny to them since 3 months after the movie came out, whenever that was. Probably when I was still in diapers. You know, I think the only reason why my mother ever bothered to potty train me was so she wouldn't have to change my diapers anymore, Because it's for sure she never bothered to teach me anything else. Just last week somebody had to show me how to tie my shoes. Turns out I'd been doing it wrong all these years. No wonder I kept tripping. It's just a myth, Bob, that women talk more than men. Just another stereotype that men put upon women so they can feel superior to them. Every boyfriend I ever had--and I didn't have all that many so don't go thinking I've been around the block so many times they've named a street after me (are you familiar with that expression are is that strictly an 'American thing" too? You know, you people have no business making fun of the way we Yanks talk because half the time we don't understand what you're saying either)--talked until they practically made my ears bleed. Again, usually about sports. Other times about their jobs or their cars, and sometimes about my boobs. So, in summary, I would say NO women do not talk too much. Although I think women do blab secrets more than men do. And they're worse gossips too, Although men can also get pretty gossipy at times. Some of the juciest tidbits of gossip I've ever gotten has been from my friend Jack who seems to know what skeleton everybody has in their closet including my state's governor. It turns out the Governor's mother....well, I'd better not repeat it on a public board. No, women don't talk too much. At least this woman (me) doesn't.
