Why do girls get all bent out shape when a man asks for a sandwich? When my woman says “Fix my car” or “Fix my computer” I don’t claim it’s sexist. I fix her stuff because I’m good at it. She is good at making sandwiches. Next time she asks me to fix her shit, I’m going to act offended and say, “Fix your own shit!” Let’s see who is more hurt, me without a sandwich or her without a car!
Last night, my kids stopped by and we were sitting in the living room when I
said to them, ‘I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some
machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.’
They got up, unplugged my computer, and threw out my wine.

I couldn’t help laughing at this bit of news! I picked this up at Crossing Wall Street:
From the NYT:
Last night, my kids and I were sitting in the living room and I said to them, “I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.”
So they got up, unplugged the computer, and threw out my wine.
They’re such asses…
