Stacking Up as a Man
Needless to say, I was intrigued to a point, to see just how I stacked up as a man, especially after hearing some of the items and knowing that I was lacking in certain areas. Anyway, I thought it would be worth while running down the list and seeing just how manly I really am.
25 Things Every Man Should Know
1.) Patch a radiator hose – That’s right next to the Johnson Rod right?
2.)Protect your computer – I do what I can, but I’m having trouble mounting the club on my LCD.
3.)Rescue a boater who has capsized – I may be wrong here, but I think you need to drag him back into the boat right?
4.)Frame a wall – I got the framing down pat, but my wife doesn’t care for the fact that it the wall keeps falling over.
5.)Retouch digital photos – Once printed, you can touch them again and again.
6.)Back up a trailer – I don’t know if I have enough room on my hard drive for an entire trailer.
7.)Build a campfire – Everytime I get one started, that damn bear comes along and snuffs it out on me.
8.)Fix a dead outlet – Fill it with an outlet cover and move the plug to the next outlet right?
9.)Navigate with a map and compass – This is hypocritical at best; men don’t need maps.
10.)Use a torque wrench – I’m not comfortable with tools around my nuts.
11.)Sharpen a knife – I’m already the dullest in the drawer, why would I want to make anyone else look better?
12.)Perform CPR – I’m going to claim ignorance as long as I can keep going to class.
13.)Fillet a fish – If millions of McDonald’s employees can figure it out, I’m sure I can.
14.)Maneuver a car out of a skid – My last time, I let the tree stop me.
15.)Get a car unstuck – I think it would be better to know how to keep it from getting stuck.
16.)Back up data – Wouldn’t it be easier to find a spot to pull it in forward?
17.)Paint a room – Does this come before or after framing the walls?
18.)Mix concrete – Shouldn’t there be another step here, like pouring it?
19.)Clean a bolt-action rifle – In the off-chance that I need to get involved in urban warfare?
20.)Change oil and filter – Seeing as oil is such a commodity now, I think I’ll hang onto what I’ve got, thank you.
21.)Hook up an HDTV – But what do you do if you are color blind?
22.)Bleed brakes – Now I know why I had to sharpen the knife.
23.)Paddle a canoe – My mother always told me I was without the paddle.
24.)Fix a bike flat – What good is a flat bike?
25.)Extend your wireless network – I’ll do what I can, but this is plugged into the dead outlet.
So how do you stack up as a man?
