MEN ARE LIKE….

 

…bananas – the older they get, the less firm they are.

…bank accounts – without a lot of money, they don’t

generate much interest.

…coffee – the best ones are rich, warm, full-bodied

and can keep you up all night long.

…coolers – load them with beer and you can take

them anywhere.

…copiers – you need them for reproduction, but that’s

about it.

…high heels – they’re easy to walk on once you get

the hand of it.

…horoscopes – they always tell you what to do and

are usually wrong.

…mascara – they run at the first sign of emotion.

…noodles – they lack taste and they’re always in hot

water.

…weather – nothing can be done to change them.
