The Mark Of A Real Man

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 RACT 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, I can be relied upon to purchase basic groceries at the store, like beer, 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 the 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.. ...
 
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 2010, I will share equally in the housework. You just do the cooking, laundry, 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.
