a partial list

At work I get the chance to think about stuff from time to time and I got to thinking about what a guy should know and know how to do.  So along those lines here is a partial list that I came up with.

A guy should know how to:

• drive a manual transmission
• wire a light switch or a wall plug
• cook bacon
• throw a football
• respect women
• change the oil in a car
• apologize
• unclog a sink
• tie a tie
• do his own laundry
• parallel park
• use jumper cables
• cook a hamburger
• hug his sons
• change a tire
• balance a check book
• work
• shoot a gun
• clean a gun
• open doors for women
• burp real loud
• get grubby
• kill spiders
• use a circular saw
• tell his kids he loves them

A guy should NEVER...

• have a dog smaller than a cat (unless it's his wife's)
• take your own bag to the grocery store (unless your wife makes you)
• answer questions such as "Does this make me look fat?"
• prance
• have his hair "done"
• admit he doesn't understand football
• giggle
• be mean
• wear Capri's
• ask for directions
• cross his legs- knee over knee
• say "eew!"
• "run like a girl"
• take himself too seriously

It's Ok for a guy to:

• cry for a good reason
• hold his wife's purse "for a minute"
• look up directions
• wear pink (within reason)
• have a tea party with his little girl
• admit when he's wrong
• like crafts
• change a diaper
• read the instructions

I'm a man but I can change, if I have to, I guess. -the man's prayer- Red Green
