#2: What Are You Thinking About?
Probably at least five or six times a day, my wife will ask me the extraordinarily simple question, “What are you thinking about?” I immediately go into panic mode, trying desperately to recall what I had indeed been thinking, and that fails, trying equally desperately to make something up.

This is the real reason why so many men admit to regularly thinking about the Roman Empire. We spend so much of our time with minds completely blank that we’d rather say that we were thinking about something smart than admit our brains were once again occupied with absolutely nothing.
