Re: 25 Skills Every Man Should Know:

Back up data, lol.

Might as well put read instructions, ask for directions, and wax their bikini line on there too.
 
Re: 25 Skills Every Man Should Know:

lol
like 1. How to look busy at work when you're not.
 
Re: 25 Skills Every Man Should Know:

2. How to "squeeze one off" and make it appear to have been emitted from across the room.
 
Re: 25 Skills Every Man Should Know:

9. Navigate with a map and compass

This is also crap. You need to be able to get from anywhere to anywhere without map or compass or having to stop to ask anyone. Key skill.
 
Re: 25 Skills Every Man Should Know:

17. Paint a room

To be avoided at all costs. ESPECIALLY doing so WITH your wife. The heck with money and sex. Painting a room together has to be the number one cause of divorce. Not kidding. Don't do it.
 
Re: 25 Skills Every Man Should Know:

26. Ability to escape any conversation with the use of a cell phone
27. Skilled in the art of aiding a friend in #26
 
Re: 25 Skills Every Man Should Know:

lol Eric
just finished three rooms with my wife and believe me it helps to do it blindfolded and just ignore paint on the celing and light switches!!!

btw we are still married. :)
 
Re: 25 Skills Every Man Should Know:

Yeah, we have too. We have actually done quite a bit and will be married 12 years tomorrow. But man, we've had some blowouts over painting a damned room! You have to make sure at least one of you is in a decent mood or plan on huge cleanups! :)
 
Re: 25 Skills Every Man Should Know:

Re: 25 Skills Every Man Should Know:

Whenever I used to get called into a meeting with the owner I would always tell someone if I'm not back in twenty page me and pretend the platesetter went down.

Worked every time.
 
Re: 25 Skills Every Man Should Know:

Sounds like ya'll got 26 and 27 down GT! ;-)

Rats. Now if someone sees me on the phone at a show/meeting they'll think i'm just trying to avoid them. Chances are they'll be right.
 
Re: 25 Skills Every Man Should Know:

have you attempted wall paper. my wife is in charge. I was wallpapering a ceiling of the nursery( childs room not the place that trees and bushes grow) when my wife decided I was not doing it right. when do i ever. she was 8months pregnant and up on the ladder showing me how to get it straight. this from the women that calls me when the meta rip pauses the prosetter.
