Cleared for Takeoff
Because I'm a man,
when I lock my keys in the car, I will fiddle with a
coat hanger long after hypothermia has set in. Calling CAA is not
an option. I will win.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Because I'm a man,
when the car isn't running very well, I will pop the hood and
stare at the engine as if I know what I'm looking at. If another
man shows up, one of us will say to the other, "I used to be able to fix
these things, but now with all these computers and everything, I
wouldn't know where to start." We will then drink a couple of beers and break
wind, as a form of holy communion.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Because I'm a man,
when I catch a cold, I need someone to bring me soup
and take care of me while I lie in bed and moan. You're a
woman. You never get as sick as I do, so for you, this is no problem.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Because I'm a man,
I can be relied upon to purchase basic groceries at the store,
like milk or bread. I cannot be expected to find exotic items like "cumin"
or "tofu." For all I know, these are the same thing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Because I'm a man,
when one of our appliances stops working, I will
insist on taking it apart, despite evidence that this will just
cost me twice as much once the repair person gets here and has to
put it back together.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Because I'm a man,
I must hold the television remote control in my hand while I
watch TV. If the thing has been misplaced, I may miss a whole
show looking for it.....though one time I was able to survive by holding a
calculator..... (applies to engineers mainly).
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Because I'm a man,
there is no need to ask me what I'm thinking about. The true
answer is always either sex, cars, sex, sports or sex. I have to make
up something else when you ask, so don't ask.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Because I'm a man,
I do not want to visit your mother, or have your mother come
visit us, or talk to her when she calls, or think about her any more than I have to. Whatever you got her for Mother's Day is okay; I don't need to see it.
And don't forget to pick up something for my mother, too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Because I'm a man,
you don't have to ask me if I liked the movie. Chances are,
if you're crying at the end of it, I didn't....and if you are feeling amorous afterwards....then I will
certainly at least remember the name and recommend it to others.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Because I'm a man,
I think what you're wearing is fine. I thought what you were
wearing five minutes ago was fine, too. Either pair of shoes is fine. With the belt or without it, looks fine. Your hair is fine. You look fine. Can we just go now?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Because I'm a man,
and this is, after all, the year 2006, I will share equally in
the housework. You just do the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning,
the vacuuming, and the dishes, and I'll do the rest...... Like
wandering around in the garden with a beer wondering what to do
