There are five things that women should never, ever ask a guy,
according to an article in an issue of Sassy magazine.

The five questions are:

1 – "What are you thinking?"
2 – "Do you love me?"
3 – "Do I look fat?"
4 – "Do you think she is prettier than me?"
5 – "What would you do if I died?"

What makes these questions so bad is that every one is
guaranteed to explode into a major argument and/or divorce
if the man does not answer properly, which is to say dishonestly.
For example:

1 – "What are you thinking?" The proper answer to this question,
of course is, "I’m sorry if I’ve been pensive, dear. I was just
reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, caring, thoughtful,
intelligent, beautiful woman you are and what a lucky guy I am to
have met you." Obviously, this statement bears no resemblance
whatsoever to what the guy was really thinking at the time, which
was most likely one of five things:

a – Football
b – Baseball
c – How fat you are.
d – How much prettier she is than you.
e – How he would spend the insurance money if you died.

According to the Sassy article, the best answer to this stupid
question came from Al Bundy, of Married With Children, who was
asked it by his wife, Peg.

"If I wanted you to know," Al said,
"I’d be talking instead of thinking."

The other questions also have only one right answer but many
wrong answers:

2 – "Do you love me?" The correct answer to this question
is, "Yes." For those guys who feel the need to be more elaborate,
you may answer, "Yes, dear." Wrong answers include:

a – I suppose so.
b – Would it make you feel better if I said yes.
c – That depends on what you mean by "love".
d – Does it matter?
e – Who, me?

3 – "Do I look fat?" The correct male response to this question
is to confidently and emphatically state, "No, of course not" and
then quickly leave the room. Wrong answers include:

a – I wouldn’t call you fat, but I wouldn’t call you thin
either.
b – Compared to what?
c – A little extra weight looks good on you.
d – I’ve seen fatter.
e – Could you repeat the question? I was thinking about
your insurance policy.

4 – "Do you think she’s prettier than me?" The "she" in the
question could be an ex-girlfriend, a passer-by you were staring
at so hard that you almost caused a traffic accident or an actress
in a movie you just saw. In any case, the correct response is,
"No, you are much prettier." Wrong answers include:

a – Not prettier, just pretty in a different way.
b – I don’t know how one goes about rating such things.
c – Yes, but I bet you have a better personality.
d – Only in the sense that she’s younger and thinner.
e – Could you repeat the question? I was thinking about
your insurance policy.

5 – "What would you do if I died?" Correct answer: "Dearest
love, in the event of your untimely demise, life would cease to
have meaning for me and I would perforce hurl myself under the
front tires of the first Domino’s Pizza truck that came my way."
This might be the stupidest question of the lot, as is illustrated
by the following stupid joke:
