Well, it would make a good trick...

why do men drape a towel over the shoulder when cooking???

why do men look at tits???

answer to both questions

We just DO!!!!!!OK!!!

Shouting won't make it more logical

it works for women with PMS/PMT

this confuses me a bit .. are you suggesting that wearing a towel or staring at tits is the male equivalent of pms/pmt? I am very sure I never thought of that..

NO!!!!!!!

shouting makes it logical............it works for women with pms

example

how many women with pms does it take to change a light bulb?

3

why?

IT JUST DOES......OK?

I said early I do but very rarely do the 'tea towel drape'. I did it today and now I know why I don't do it much: I threw it over my left shoulder and found myself walking around leaning to the right to make sure it didn't slide off my shoulder even though I knew it wouldn't.

I usually carry a bag over my right shoulder if I'm out - sometimes it can be quite heavy. This can't be doing my carriage and posture any good. But now you mention it, all I have to do is drape a tea towel over my *left* shoulder and it will make me veer to the other side and compensate.

Genius!

I have to carry things on my left shoulder (I'm not meant to use the right one for bag-slinging purposes for another year or two), so I'll put even the really light things there now.

Always carried the Sistabarista on my right hip, though...

Haven't seen you do that in a while...

Not really, no... Her feet would drag on the floor!

I sling - and women wipe their hands on their bums.

The tea towel over the shoulder allows plates to be wiped to remove condesation, or sauce spills, damp fingers to be wiped, and can be used for emergency defense if a woman attempts to move away from the washing up area.

If there were women's bums on which to wipe my hands, then I would gladly do so...however, I only have teatowels in my kitchen.

Remind me never to wear terrycloth trousers!

I think that shows a lack of foresight RF

now .. from a technical point of view .. women's bums are maybe not the best thing to wipe your hands .. unless indeed covered by terry cloth

I am sorry, but sod the technical point, bring on the ladies's bums, run......

I think you'll find they are considerably harder to drape over your shoulder than a tea towel is...

Hey man, if I can handle a rabbit, no don't even go there...

I'm sure someone is going to complain that we've wiped our hands on the bum that was only for use on Sundays.
