Ben by Daniel Shelton for December 18, 2021

Men are clueless jerks.

My initial thought was, “Ka-loo-less” but he is not usually like that. I hope this resolves differently!

It’s true. We men think differently than women. Or is it the other way around?

Give her a set of new pans, with an envelope inside one that holds a day at the spa gift card.

I’m glad my husband isn’t this dumb.

The spa ben, the spa!

I, one time, bought my wife a practical gift for the kitchen… and have felt guilty about it for decades.

The Late and Unlamented once bought “me” a set of dishes, in a color I don’t like. His reply? “Well, I like it.”

That’s why we ask each other what we want. My list this year is a wood carving set. If I get pots and pans instead it’s boiled hay in those beautiful new pots for my hubby for two months straight.

Tone deaf … to the max

Guys just don’t get it. Maybe we should get them a new snow shovel for Christmas. A SNOW SHOVEL, not a snowblower.

You fool.

Men want tools, so they give their wives tools.

Wives get angry about that, but don’t learn anything: they give their husbands clothes, because women want clothes.

Husbands are disappointed, but don’t learn anything . . .

That’s not the vibe I got, less cooking and more spaing.

This looks like a joke that should have appeared in the strip “The Born Loser”!

Hope his life insurance is paid up

Total misread!

Poor guy’s dense.

See, something they can both use. :)

Is he clueless? Or is he up to something? I can’t imagine why he’d make that choice.

Yeah, NEW pots and pans will surely make her LESS tired…..

I would be upset if husband spent money on anything – and I don’t need them – but spa anything is worse than new pots and pans.
