[This is a public service message for Women, to better understand Males.]
“Because I’m a man”, when I lock my keys in the car I will fiddle with a
wire clothes hanger and ignore your suggestions that we call a road service
until long after hypothermia has set in.
“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 spit.
“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 NEVER get as sick as I do,
so for you this isn’t an issue.
“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).
