Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for February 07, 2011

Joan, this was two GUYS having lunch!

Coming up tomorrow:

“No, we had lunch!”

It’s so simple. Why doesn’t she get it?

I don’t like to talk at a meal either. I just like to eat and maybe do some work.

not quite sure how to answer that question? Most times we are just curious as to what men talk about when we are not present, apparently lunch.

My boyfriend came home and said “Rich and his wife had their baby.” “Was is a boy or a girl.” He looked at me shrugged “I don’t know.” By the way Rich is his friend.

Munch, crunch, chew, slurp Throw in an occasional burp To men, eating is a serious endeavor No need for talk that’s profound or clever Beer, brats and a hamburger too Meaningful dialogue we eschew If it’s gossip you want to know Then somewhere else you must go Idle chatter has its time and place But it’s not when we’re feeding our face.

I think she was already crazy, guys think differiently than gals.

The “conversation” went something like this:

“What’s up?”

“Not much”

“Pass the ketchup”

Sometimes, it amazes me that Facebook was invented by a man.

wndrwrthg….

Loved your little ditty! Clever.

Mothers constantly tell their kids, “Don’t talk with your mouth full!” They were just respecting their mothers’ instructions…

Guys are different then girls. For girls and women eatting means talking either about different foods or just gosip. Guys just want to eat. Reminds me of Dagwood his interest is in foods.

“I have no idea.” is my stock answer.

Drives her nuts.

Her questions do the same to me.

Talk what’s that?

I like it, too, wndrwrthg!

Two guys having lunch the day after the Super Bowl, what do you think they talked about?
