If Men Got Pregnant...endless possibilities

Go this email the other day and it got me thinking and thinking really hard, I came up with endless possibilities. Some were hilarious, some downright unrealistic, some outright chaos, some interesting and some were hmmm.........Ok some were cruel!!!!!!!

But then its not everyday that you come across an email that tells you what will happen if Man got pregnant....... this gets you thinking and you can give a free rein to all your imagination prowess!!! Arnie did a fine job of not only getting pregnant, but actually delivering a baby in the labor room. But all that was in Junior a movie that had him playing the role of a pregnant Man@@##!!

If Men Got Pregnant.......(Oh, If only!!!)

* Maternity leave would last two years... With full pay. ( A man at home for two full years without work......God save the women from this torture......trust me no Man will have a good feeling about the whole thing)

* There would be a cure for stretch marks. (But then guys do not wear midriff baring clothes, except when they are swimming perhaps, so may be they can continue without a cure for the stretch marks..:-), Imagine the amount of stretch mark if some guy ends up delivering 3 or 4 babies!)

* Natural childbirth would become obsolete. (Ahhh.....this I agree to without a second thought)

* Morning sickness would rank as the nation's #1 health problem. ( My friend is pregnant, I pity her the morning sickness part, "Guys are not comfortable when they see someone puking", her husband says.....this will serve them right!!!)

* All methods of birth control would be 100% effective. (Who's gonna have the control here???)

* Children would be kept in the hospital until toilet trained. ( The hospital is gonna become one noisy and messy place. There are plenty of critically ill patients and we need all the quiet and space we can manage in hospitals. So, can we do away with this privilege, please??)

* Men would be eager to talk about commitment. (Men talking about the C word, hmmm everything comes in a circle)

* They wouldn't think twins were so cute. (Not to mention triplets and quadruplets and I m forgetting the rest of the terms now......)

* Sons would have to be home from dates by 10:00 PM ( Gals the call is all urs!!)

* Briefcases would be used as diaper bags. (That would be an interesting sight to behold!!!!)

* Paternity suits would be a fashion line of clothes. (Fashionable no doubt, to forget the unpleasantness of the Court Room!!!)

* They'd stay in bed during the entire pregnancy. (They just can't do this, its just something beyond their capacity)

* Restaurants would include ice cream and pickles as main entrees. (They will now understand Perity's predicament when she has ice cream cravings at 'Pone Bara Baje' in the night)

* Women would rule the world!! (Thats not a bad thought at all)

Huh....don't think they can ever accomplish this. Women look better being pregnant and doing the honors of bringing new life to earth. I guess that for a women nothing can ever surpass this feeling of awe, power, joy and humility all at the same time!!!

Guys n Gals your comments and thoughts on this plz......
