Flip My Star Trek Switch and Hear Me Roar!
They say a picture is worth…a thousand giggles. Right? Or in this case, a thousand “AMENS!” (Kudos to eye guy’s bro-in-law for passing on this image.) Counselors should clearly print out copies at marriage retreats, then send everybody home to save time, money, and sanity.
A Universal Letter Addressed to the manly masses….from EVERY WOMAN I KNOW:
************************************************************
Dear Guy “I’m Dating” (or the guy any woman is dating, married to, sleeping with, hoping to sleep with, engaged to, or about to dump)….
Please memorize the above dials on this ever-so-retro Star Trek control panel.
As you can CLEARLY see, women are simple creatures. Find our optimal frequency, and we’ll love you throughout football season…into the playoffs. Dial down the wrong buttons, and we’re apt to come unglued at the most inappropriate times…most likely in front of your extended family at Disneyworld.
Guys…with so many switches, what’s NOT to love? Think of our diverse emotions, our quick ability to switch moods in the mere time it takes you to floss. Can you imagine your life without laughs one moment…and cries the next (all during Extreme Home Makeover)?
Yes, we are neurotic, opinionated, bossy, exhausted, bee-atchy, high strung, and blunt. But if you look closer at those multi-colored knobs…you’ll also discover we’re lovable, funny, “can’t-live-without,” soft-spoken, intellectual, sexual, and given-just-the-right-amount-of-alcohol…extremely flirty.
So, dudes – find the mood you like…and give our knobs a twirl. Just try and avoid punching the sensitivity button ALL TIMES of day. (Although we can’t tell you where that one is located permanently…because it changes on a daily basis.)
For our best “operating results”…read our instruction manual.
Who cares if it’s in Chinese? The language barrier certainly doesn’t hinder you at Mr. Wong’s Asian Buffet.
If you’re a real man, you’ll read the directions. And if you’ve lost the directions (along with the refrigerator manual)….it’s best to pull over and ask for help.
Signed,
the love or lust of your life (mood-dependent)

Haha! I saw this picture once before and have looked for it a few times since because it really does say everything that needs to be said. I have saved it to my computer now! In women’s defense though, I know there are a few guys out there who have a few other dials and get it wrong they burst into temper tantrums too!
But when it comes to ON or OFF, yep just one switch for them. hahaha

A picture is worth a thousand words and I LOVE this photo. It basically just sums it all up. Every dad should just hand this picture to their young sons when they are about 12 years old; it would be the best lesson of their young lives:)

My hubby thinks I have only two knobs. I’m glad he’s gotten over mock turning of them while saying, “come in tokyo”.
