My god, what is it with women and bugs (well, my experience with women and bugs anyway)? We’ve lived in the country for over 10 years now and bugs are a way of life. Yet almost every day one of the womenfolk in the family is screaming for me to come kill a bug in the house somewhere.

Of course I guess I shouldn’t complain too much. They say it’s the only thing I’m good for and the only reason they keep me around. :)

And opening pickle jars.

That to. But why do women always hand us the pickle jar when our hands are wet? Just to call us wimps when it slips and we can’t open it? And heaven’s forbid we take a butter knife to knock on the lid and loosen it up. “MY GOD DON'T HIT IT SO HARD, YOU’RE GOING TO BREAK IT.” (FYI... I've never broken one.) Luckily now I have one of those flimsy plastic flat jar openers, that I got from a funeral home handing them out during a service, just for such an occasion. (Thanks uncle Bill)

I open my own pickle jars... using the knife trick. No getting around that being short thing, though.
