So when you guys say "Just treat us like one of the guys" you guys don't realy know what being just one of the guys is really like?

Explaining the joke to the ladies took several attempts, after all.....and the polite handling-it-with-tongs approach apparently didn't fit the bill.

Gals, if you ever legitimately wanna be treated like "one of the guys", you have to be able to think like a pig at a moment's notice and without prompting. Let's face it.

No need to insult the pigs.

Oh for heaven's sake......boys! Can't live with them....

And yes, I get it now.

I think you'll find that most guys agree with that sentiment.

Hell, I was trying to put the guys in a favorable light!

And for what it's worth, the "That's not what your wife said" scenario is a subset of the thing. Imagine being all day around a bunch of guys who look for any chance to use "That's what she said" to turn the commonest phrase, any phrase, into a double entendre and a two-line quick and disposable baDUMP-chaa micro-yarn. It's not always about dominance, but in all cases ultimately a formulaic way of touting one's dudeness and doing the best one can with the wit one has.

[EDIT] Usually I would expect the intended audience to be other guys; after all, we are almost to a man going to "get" it. Let the audience be female, and not only is the joke in worse taste for it (I'm oldfashioned that way), but dollars to donuts they won't get it. As we have just seen. Not that there's a reason for them to get it. But, you know, it's such a downer when you have to explain stuff that you think ought to be obvious, and once it's finally explained and you're squirming, a litany of continued incomprehension follows anyway, like in the video below.

I'm not getting it either. Perhaps you need a "Y" in your genetic makeup in order to understand

I saw this video yesterday. I couldn't even bear to watch the whole thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeq0KlsylDs

What would we ladies do without the internet? Never heard word one about *this* from the husband. And he spent many a summer on construction crews.

I learned a lot about the effect on the male psyche of ladies' boots a few weeks ago as well. Who knew? I'm so sheltered.

A woman walks in to a bar and says to the barman 'Can I have an innuendo?'
So he gave her one.
