A MAN'S ROLE

A Man is a woman's best friend.

He will reassure her when she's feeling insecure and comfort her after a bad day.

He will inspire her to carry on until she succeeds and to do things she never thought she could do; to live without fear and put aside her regrets.

He will enable her to express her deepest emotions and surrender to her most intimate desires.

He will make sure she always feels that she's the most beautiful woman in the room and he will enable her to appear decidedly confident, unbeatably seductive and sexy.

No wait...... sorry...... I'm thinking of wine.

It's wine that does all that.

Sorry.

A WOMAN'S AILMENT

An anxious brunette went into the doctor's office and said her body hurt wherever she touched it.

'All over? Listen; that ailment is not possible!' he said testily. 'Show me.'

The woman pressed her finger against her left shoulder and screamed out in pain, then she pressed her left elbow and screamed again. Next, she felt her wrist and still cried out; likewise when she pressed her shins. Everywhere she pressed made her emit an awful scream.

Finally, the doctor said, 'You're not a real brunette, are you?

'Well, no,' said the woman, 'I'm actually a blonde.'

'I thought so,' he said; 'Your finger is broken.'
