=: Because I'm a Man :=
(a public service message)
 
* 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 AAA 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, meat 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 always 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, 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.
