He Baffles Me

I was inspired to this realization by Coming To Terms With The Y Chromosome, by Dooce of dooce.com.

So here's the thing about men: the thing is, all men are airheads.

I haven't got a whole lot of experience with men. So I can't speak to the gender as a whole. But I can say, I've found a bit of empirical evidence to back it up.
I mean no offense to my wonderful boyfriend, who I must state for the record is a terrifyingly intelligent individual, who can bore holes in binary code with his relentless green laser-eyes. He is capable of the most intense focus I have ever witnessed in a human being.
However.
I present to you the following:

He ordered a Christmas present for his mother on Monday the 15th of December, when we're leaving for his mother's house on the 19th of December. He ordered it for delivery in 5-9 days, and he had it sent-- to his office.
I'm not much good at math, but I'm getting that 15+9>19.

It didn't even cross his mind that this might be a problem until I told him it would be.

I have more evidence of this strange phenomenon but I don't dare recount it here, for fear he'll actually start talking about me in his blog, and tell you all what a total chowderhead I am.
