“She leaves the seat down.”
Mark, Vail, CO

“She wakes me up at night to tell me her dreams.”
Lew, Concord, NH

“She’s obsessed with thigh flab. She measures her thighs with a tape.”
Ari, New York, NY

Merry’s comments: The publisher insisted that my husband work with me on this one; he didn’t believe that men would be candid about their girlfriends and wives if they were talking to a woman. It had to be guy to guy. So, my husband helped me gather a lot of the material, but, frankly, much of the time, I didn’t see the humor. I mean, poor lady with thigh flab. And of COURSE she wakes him up to tell him her dreams. Who else is she going to tell? And the toilet seat SHOULD be down. I mean, right?
