Total recall of arguments - women

Pseudoscience of love - women remember arguments better
One of the most worrying things about going out with a woman is her total recall when it comes to arguments. As the graph above shows, men generally forget arguments very quickly, while women tend to stew over them for bloody ages.

Often a woman will leave her partner for a few days, expecting him to think very carefully about what he did wrong and how he can prevent it from happening again. However, it's usually in one ear and out the other as the man forgets all about that horrendous toilet seat incident (or whatever). Meanwhile, the woman is dissecting the exchange syllable by syllable, examining every nuance and fretting over the future of the relationship. Upon reuniting, the woman is flabbergasted that the man can't even recall the contretemps, never mind contemplate the "serious" ramifications of it!

Even worse is the ability of women to store arguments up much like a storage heater stores up heat for future release. Misdemeanours committed by men (and long forgotten by same!) in the inter-argument period will be stored up and unleashed by the woman during the next disagreement!

Observant geeks will have noted that I've snuck in another nuclear weapons reference in the graph above to describe the point in time when the argument erupted!!

"Every time we have an argument, y wife gets historical," said one guy to the other.

"You mean hysterical?" asked his buddy.

"That too, but it is her total recall which I fear more!"
