Top Ten List
So what makes a man a man? That's a good question, and deserves an honest answer. This question was brought up by a friend of mine last week, so I thought I give him ten things that would help become a top flight male human being. Maybe I should teach a class or something.
10. Listen to country music. Any man worth his salt will listen to, and perhaps get a bit emotional, while listening to the music of Nashville. I mean it has everything, dogs, pickup trucks, mama, trains. Why listen to anything else?
9. Watch wresting, drink beer all while sitting in your underwear. I'm not sure any explanation is needed. Just try not to think about the visual.
8. Never, ever ask for directions. "We don't need a map, I know right where we are."
7. Put the parental blocker on Glee and Dowton Abbey. The wife and kids can watch wrestling, like real men.
6. Get some wood pieces, and leave them laying around your basement, so it looks like work is being done. "This is a bookshelf I'm building, and here is half a birdhouse. These boards here, are for the refinish job I'm doing in the basement. I'm building a kitchen, bathroom and two more bedrooms down here."
5. "You can keep Barrymore and Olivier. I'll take the Fox NFL Robot playing Hamlet any day." Your wife may think you are so intelligent and insightful. Or she'll think you're a dork.
4. Why spend the money on fancy shoes, when you can wear your work boots? Even to church. I mean, they look fine. Right?
3. Belch. Nothing says 'romance' to your wife, then a good old fashion burp. You can do that while watch wrestling.
2. Brag about old sports glories, "Once in high school, I ran for 600 yards in one football game. And in basketball, one night I scored 140 points. You could look it up, but no one wrote down records back then."
And finally, the number one thing that a 'real man' needs to do.
1. Barbeque. Even if you have never cooked anything in your life, once that grill is fired up, it's time to show them all. For added effect, get one of those "World's greatest Barbequer' apron.
