I resemble that remark !

That’s not the only kind of disorder he’s got.

Oh. I thought it was Meandering Adventure Dialogue.

If you ask a man a perfectly simple question that you know he actually has the answer to, and the response you get is “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember,” what he means is either “Don’t bother me right now” or “I don’t want to talk about that.”

No, it’s TPD- testosterone poisoning disorder.

My ex used to always ask 2 questions at the same time. I would just answer, “yes”.

And proud of it!

I’m with Earl.If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull sh—.

I thought it was more like Fake it, nobody will no the difference.

Whatever ??

Work = MAD (Mass x Acceleration x Distance)

I think Pearl just made that up! ;)

Yep — it’s a common, nearly universal disorder. Variations occur. Politicians, for example, may just answer a different question instead. Ageing allows a another variation — if I don’t know, I can pretend I didn’t hear you!

They make it up… and believe it.

I only got one thing to say to this. LOL!

I had a wonderful professor in college who would utter the most outrageous statements to: a) see if you were paying attention b) test your knowledge of the subject and c) hone your debating skills.

Now that we have a name for it, we need a government grant to study it, find out how many have it and find a cure.

One of my college mates was one of the best story tellers. Start with the truth, or something close to it, and see how far astray you can lead your audience. Last time I heard him do this, he was a the official host, “informing” tourists around a camp fire in our oldest national park!

If she really wants to know something she should ask Muffin.It’s a well-known fact that cats have all the answers.

Same reason most men won’t ask for directions or read instructions, as well as saying “I don’t know.” Male or female, the EGO won’t allow it.

I think women would probably get F.A.D.

Non sequitur: Engineers tend to work in information areas with a low Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR). In order to maximize SNR, they frequently add information (signal) of a slightly lesser quality to try to increase the overall SNR. For example, when my wife asks for driving directions, I might give her 2 or 3 ways to get there, thinking that, if one is busy, then one of the others would get her there faster. Seems logical to me, but she hates it!

This is the best comic strip available now. Sad that it is not in more newspapers.

I don’t get it.

Oh yes, my Dad has M.A.D. too. Drives me up the wall.
