Its quite sad really. For centuries “man-knowledge” was held in the highest esteem, guarded by an elite group knowledge guarders who ensured that men everywhere had easy access to the latest philosophies of manhood, or something like that. Ok, that might sound a bit Dan Brownish but it gets the point across. Modern man has lost his way in a maze of knowledge, not really sure how to tell what information is critical and what is unecessary. So, we are here to help. This is a list of 25 things every man should know how to do:
Hands down the manliest thing you will ever do in your life. Just remember…tinder, kindling, fuel.
The key here is to have an escape path. As soon as the tree starts to fall…use it.
Of all the skills on our list, this is the one that you will be tested on most often. 2 cables, red=positive, don’t forget to ground.
Once you go for it…commit. The key is to never give up, at least if you want to be able to show your face in that part of town ever again.
Granted, although this will probably only save you 5 dollars, man points are priceless! Just make sure you don’t bleed the transmission fluid.
Hmmm….Well now that you have built the fire….are you going to COOK?? You better be able to because… Woman is now out of the kitchen. And I am on strike. and never mind the blood stain…now that you have the stain out…Can you work the washing machine???
or iron your own shirt??? lol
Men, if you can’t fix the toilet, I got nothing.
But if it breaks often, you have a bigger problem than a minor repair. One you might need to have a doctor look at.
I actually think removing blood from fabric is something that women will always know more about than men…
What about driving “stick shift”?… Everyman should know how to drive a “stick”!
u mean a manual car?
HHIS I sohlud have thought of that!
I feel like I know how to escape a sinking car. Is there something about it that I probably don’t know?
You’re suppose to wait until the car is filled with water until you open your door. Trying to open your door when there is an air gap all around you makes it extremely difficult to open the door and escape because of the different pressures, and it’ll send water smashing into your face.
Hey, subtle must be your mdidle name. Great post!
Also, you want to conserve all the energy that you have… So its better to let the door stay closed until the pressure level is even.
One small flaw in the “Wait for it to fill” plan. Namely, it will take a very long time.
How long can you hold your breath? Long enough for a car to completely fill with water and equalize pressure, then open the door, egress, and get all the way to the surface while wearing soaking-wet clothes and probably shoes as well? Bear in mind, the car is sinking deeper and deeper the whole time it’s filling up.
You’re probably better off getting a spring-loaded carbide centerpunch from a hardware store, and keeping it clipped to your seatbelt. That way, when/if the car goes into the water, you can just blow out the window and exit before the car submerges completely.
Just a thought, from a guy who used to work on the water, and then in emergency response.
I was sreiuosly at DefCon 5 until I saw this post.
