I think he should send Donna the cookies and send the other two some tofu:evil:

Ladies: "How dare you say that to my face!"

Kranky: "Well I would've said it behind your back but my car's got only half a tank of gas!"

Lol, poor kranky! :D We've all had those moments.

When they turned around to leave you should have tried to repair things by saying, "No wait, I meant you already look anorexic...no that's not right, I meant you could stand to put on a few pounds like Mary and Patty...no that didn't come out right, what I meant to say was that you look fine, but the pear-shaped female form is nice too, wait...wait... I meant you should be happy with your bodies no matter what kind of shape they're in. ...Donna?...Patty?...Mary?

They'll get over it. Just wait until you see Mary and Patty dressed up for something and comment on how nice they look. A compliment can go a long way in making them think you've regained your senses. :)

LOL I feel for you OP, sometimes us men can never win and it never helps that females love to jump to conclusions.

my GF on Yahoo Messenger last night

her: I have to go now
me: awh I'll miss you
her: you'll be fine you'll find somebody else to chat with as soon as I'm gone any ways
me: what? I don't even chat on here much, why are you assuming?
her: I'm not assuming you've told me before you always chat on here.

hah, I told her once that I chat SOMETIMES on Yahoo with a few people I know from my area I'm too lazy to actually go hang out with. Of course her spin on it makes it sound like I'm cheating on her with every damn body.

FEMALES!

That's nothing. Freshman year of college I was becoming fast friends with this girl. As is my nature, I like to tease my friends. This particular girl had very large breasts, and was sensitive about her weight (she wasn't overweight, but was convinced she was). She was complaining about how a certain shirt made her look like a man, and I said "with those breasts, pretty much the only man who looks like you would be a sumo wrestler." Now, I clearly meant that men don't have breasts unless they are appallingly fat. Guess how she took it?

Six years later, five of them happily together, and she still brings that up (along with a time I apparently called her an Orca, which I don't remember). "You look great hon!" "Yeah, for a sumo orca..." GAH!

But I learned well from her. You just reverse it. For a while, I took everything she said the worst possible way ("Want seconds on dinner?" "Oh, I'm so fat I'm obviously never full, is that it?"). A few months of that will make a woman realize just how obnoxious it can be to take everything as a negative and they'll cut back. I figure it's not healthy to take everything as an insult, so you're really doing them a favor.

Go over there with a cake/pie/bucket of fried chicken as a peace offering and say its the only thing you thought they'd want.
