women and thermostats

Why do so few women understand the concept of a thermostat? If in the winter the room temperature is 65 degrees and she wants it to be 70 degrees, does she set the thermostat at 70 degrees? No, she sets at 90 degrees! And if in the summer the room temperature is 80 degrees and she'd prefer it be 70 degrees, she sets the air conditioner for 30 degrees, and I wake up with icicles hanging from my nose.

Why why why?

Ladies: Setting the thermostat BEYOND the desired temperature does NOT make the furnace or air conditioner work faster or more powerfully. Just set it at the temperature you actually want the room to be, OK?

Well, whilst you knob jockies still harbour the 3" fantasy, three minutes is 30 minutes and insist on wacking off in the shower, we'll just keep fiddling with the thermostats. Quid pro quo.

Yea, well, thats what we've come to expect from the " just lie still and think of England dear" brigade.

Jesus wept.

Why are you fannying about with a thermostat?

If it's hot open a window. If it's cold, close the window.

But if you must play around with gadgets.
Tell her there is a big spider in the cupbard where
the thermostat is. That works.

Brings to mind a cartoon I saw, no caption, just two thermostats on the wall marked His and Hers.
The His had normal temperature graduations on the dial, but the Hers had a needle that pointed to only two selections, Too Hot and Too Cold.

Hi Skeets.

Spiders rule in our house. She is petrified of them.
(not too fond of them myself, if it's a biggie I get my son
to come around and catch it.)

Me...? Women...? Stink...?

Never had any complaints.

I set my chess clock to 3 minutes and get it all done before the flags falls.
Me winding up the chess clock is all the foreplay I need.
