It's long since I had time over to read books. Instead I gather inspiration from society. Here's something funny I picked up in the locker rooms at the gym.
Guy: Ah, it'll feel so good to get home and have a long, quiet shit.
Another guy: Thanks for telling me.
Guy: C'mon, you know how good it feels to just empty yourself after a work out. My dad's the same. He can sit on the toilet for hours.
Another guy: Hours?
Guy: Hell yeah, and no one ain't allowed to disturb him during that time.
Another guy: What makes him sit there for so long?
Guy: Mom.
Here's a classic I think most men will immediately recognize. I picked this up in the sauna, where guys always talk shit.
Guy: Why do women talk all the time?
Another guy: I dunno..it's annoying.
Guy: Like my mom, she talks for hours on the phone, every single time. I've stopped listening to her.
Another guy: What?
Guy: Yeah, I just drop dead on the bed and leave the phone by the cupboard.
Another guy: Haha! She doesn't notice?
Guy: All I have to do is to say "mmkay," "yeah" and "huh" now and then so she thinks I'm there.
Another guy: Dude, it's your mom.
I guess the blessing of all mothers is that they love you, even if you often just want them to leave you the heck alone. I suggest all guys call up their mothers this evening to let them know you care about them. If they end up talking too much, you can always leave the phone for a while and cook some food instead..
