Have you ever wondered how a man can sit and do nothing… not even think??? (this always drove my mom crazy… what are you thinking about honey? Nothing. Nothing? That is impossible. Really what are you thinking? Nothing….)
Finally, an explanation.
(HT: Brad Ruggles)
SO TRUE!!!
I understand much more now.
Thank you, Heidi!

Well…that explains everything. I must admit there is a ring of truth in this.
I really got a good laugh out of this post.

I hated “Married With Children”, but I always loved this one:
Peg: Al, what’re you thinkin’?
Al: If I wanted you to know, I’d be talkin’!

This is so doggone true! I’m a guy, and I can tell you that we really are able to sit there and…well…zone out. Not a lot. But every now and then, I’ll resort to my nothing box.
Thanks for posting this. Great stuff!
By the way, I like your blog.

Michelle, glad I could help you understand.
Mike, I love to hear that a post made someone laugh!
Jim,
If Al was my husband… well… it wouldn’t be pretty!
Mike, I’m glad you think it is awesome. Did you notice that they guy made the sign of the cross when he neared the woman’s brain? Are we really that frightening???
David… that is just scary. Scary! How can anyone not be thinking about anything? I tried it last night… and it just was impossible. At the very least, I was thinking about not thinking! And thanks for your kind words. I’ve been reading your blog for awhile now, and I enjoy it very much.
