Because I'm A Man
Because I'm a man, when I lock my
keys in the car I will fiddle with a wire long after hypothermia, or heat stroke,
has set in. 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 beer
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 isn't
a 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. And never, under any circumstances, expect me to pick up anything for
which
"feminine hygiene product" is a euphemism. (F.Y.I. guys cumin is a
spice and not a bodily function)

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 r! emote 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 answer is always either sex, cars or
football 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&nb! sp; 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 2004, 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 looking
for my socks, or like wandering around in the ga! rden with a
beer wondering what to do.
