Take a Picture



The camera has been around for a long time. And while the technology has grown leaps and bounds in a relatively short period of time, there is one thing that remains constant; some sort of button, usually on the top of the camera, that takes the picture. It doesn't matter if it's the smallest, most compact digital camera or the old Nikon brick that you got for your high school graduation gift, you press a button and that's that.


Men seem to have this down pat. You aim the camera in the general direction of the cleavage or person you are trying to photograph and you press the button.


Women, for some reason, are unable to grasp the concept. Instead, they press the button and then when something doesn't happen in 3 nanoseconds, they lift it or turn it around and FLASH, shitty picture taken. Great shot of your wrist or the floor. Oh, hey, look, there's your purse. Terrific work, Janet.


Do you know why guys are good at taking pictures? Because we don't like to be in them. We don't need to be shown a photograph of who or where we were...we lived it. As a matter of fact, the only time a guy wants to be in a picture is when he's photo bombing.


Guys should also know that taking one picture is enough. Eyes were closed? Who cares. Made you look fat? You are fat. But hand a woman a camera, and all of a sudden it's a fuckin fashion shoot.


Just for kicks, the next time you're out, point a camera at a group of girls and shout "smile!". I guarantee that at least one girl will put her left hand on her hip (she read in Cosmo this helps you look skinny.) Another will tilt her head at a 45 degree angle (this hides the double chin). And there's always one that won't smile because "my smile is ugly" (cue all the other girls trying to convince her that it's not even though it's absolutely hideous).


Point a camera at a group of guys and shout "smile!" and you'll get 5 middle fingers. Or an ass.
