i'll admit, i may love my woman, but you are right, women definitely can be a problem for sure...lol...

I'll have to admit I am the bigger problem in my house.

A little more Friday math:

Prove that 2 = 1
Proof: Let x = 1 and y = 1
Then x = y
And x2 + y2 (the square of equals is equal)
And x2 - 1 = y2 - 1 (subtacting 1 from both sides of the equation)
And x2 - 1 = y2 - y (because y = 1)
And (x + 1)(x - 1) = y(y - 1) (factoring both sides of the equation)
And (x + 1)(x - 1) = y(x - 1) (since x = y)
And (x + 1) = y (dividing both side of the equation by (x - 1))
And 1 + 1 = 1 (Substituting 1 for x and y)
Therefore: 2 = 1 QED

....and how many times are we the cause? But with that said I could easily take either side here as I'm sure most of us could. By the way regardless what either side says, if something happened to our signiificant other, how long would it be before we were out looking for another.

Technically that is division by zero.

...which is undefined in math. Very good Steve, you get an A! You would be surprised at how many people cannot find the fallacy in the "proof."

I was gonna point out that both X and Y cant equal 1, because then they'd both be X - and the whole equation falls apart at that point... But i didnt wanna totally rain on your parade after Steve pointed out what he did

That gave me a head ache
