Things Men Should Know

Posted on | May 6, 2008 | 4 Comments

According to Esquire Magazine, there are 75 things that all men should be able to do.
I think they got some of them wrong, I know they got # 73 incorrect (or incomplete)
Based on their list, I would make a decent guy.
I still throw like a girl, though.

    I got 72 down, but the list is quite arbitrary (Columbus? Birds? Huh?). My three deficits: Tie a bow tie (have never needed to), Make three different bets at a craps table (have never cared to), Tell a woman’s dress size (in this event, ignorance is truly bliss). I would have to add a few more important ones:
    – Use, clean and store a gun
    – Light a cigar
    – Plant a tree
    – Shine shoes

    Incomplete or not, the thought of #73 makes me melt.

    I never got the whole cigar thing, though I appreciate the ritual of it…and Gigi made it seem oh so romantic.

    I like Robert Heinlein’s version of this as well:
