You know it's going to be a long day when you wake up and feel a strong 
need for heavy medication. Luckily, the Advil's in the medicine cabinet 
and there should be enough left for tomorrow as well...ugh.       -dave







Top 10 Rejection Lines Given by Women
(and what they actually mean...) 

10. I think of you as a brother.
    (You remind me of that inbred banjo-playing geek in "Deliverance.") 

9.  There's a slight difference in our ages.
    (You are one jurassic geezer.) 

8.  I'm not attracted to you in 'that' way.
    (You are the ugliest dork I've ever laid eyes upon.) 

7.  My life is too complicated right now.
    (I don't want you spending the whole night or else you may hear phone 
     calls from all the other guys I'm seeing.) 

6.  I've got a boyfriend.
    (who's really my male cat and a half gallon of Ben and Jerry's.)

5.  I don't date men where I work.
    (Hey, bud, I wouldn't even date you if you were in the same 'solar 
     system', much less the same building.) 

4.  It's not you, it's me.
    (It's not me, it's you.) 

3.  I'm concentrating on my career.
    (Even something as boring and unfulfilling as my job is better than 
     dating you.) 

2.  I'm celibate.
    (I've sworn off only the men like you.) 

AND THE NO.1 REJECTION LINE IS GIVEN BY WOMEN IS... 

1.  Let's be friends.
    (I want you to stay around so I can tell you in excruciating detail 
     about all the other men I meet and have sex with. It's that male 
     perspective thing)
