I had a woman friend who forced her husband and three teen sons to urinate sitting down. Odd thing to do.

I recommended that she just teach them to clean up after themselves.

This thread has caused me to look up two things so far.

donut puncher .... well I will let you find that one out yourself.

and

sammie .... which appears to mean sandwich although that makes no sense in this context... unless you like grilled cheese ironed.

“I had a woman friend who forced her husband and three teen sons to urinate sitting down. Odd thing to do.”

A true case of “penis envy”.

How would the witch enforce that?

She’d sit on a drenched seat over a toilet full of floaters every time she used the can until she corrected her attitude...

The man skills eschewed by the article are part and parcel of the Boy Scouts of America advancement program.

Be Prepared is still a worthy motto

Standby for the proverbial press clip: “Can I buy me a huntin’ license?”

#8. Learn how to be a cuck; your wife’s boyfriend will love you for it.

When I got Married and we had a kid on the way, I decided that renting was not the way to go anymore. I bought a piece of land on the cheap [from an estate sale] 4 acres for 17,000, paid off the land quickly , Bought a set of house plans that my wife picked out and used the property as escrow to get a building loan for 70,000. All during the time I was paying off the land I was also visiting construction sites , and new home construction talking with contractors and educating myself as to what needed to done while building a house.I became the General contractor and Hired out for the hard work [concrete and framing] had friends and family help out while I did most of the interior , walls, trim, boiler, well etc. In 9 months it was finished 2400 Sq Ft 2 story colonial farmhouse now worth according to zillow $345,000. Mortgage free! If I had been imbued with the “manly attributes” espoused by this article my wife and I would still be renting or even worse paying a mortgage for 20 more years!

Yeah. Kinda odd, though. I read he subdued a goat with a stun gun. Sent it out to be butchered. I suppose there’s something to be said for owning the act of killing your own food. Anyway, I hear he’s over it, now. As for hunting....Probably a pretty pampered hunter.

Agreed. I always believed that the hippies of the sixties would have not survived in the cold cruel world if it were not for what was created for them and provided by the very people that they were protesting.

I made my two sons and daughter watch me do home repair and in the use of power tools. Gutting a toilet, you are out $10 and maybe 30 minutes time. Call a plumber and pay him $100 to do the same thing. Change the hi thermostat on your dryer for $20 instead of $100. Save $100 by using a shop vac and cellophane to clean your HVAC drain lines. Using a chain saw safely and changing oil in your garden tractor. My oldest is married and now has his first tool box making these same repairs.

Those 60s hippies were a hundred times more resilient than 20-somethings today are. They were living on communes growing their own food, fishing and hunting game, using power tools to build stuff, and repairing their Volkswagens.

But they wouldn’t have survived in Nazi occupied Europe or any other time in human history when tyrants ruled. There are times in human history when you must fight to survive. That is the cold cruel world. Idealism is a luxury that we sometimes cannot afford.

Hillarious. Couple of junior high ladies from FFA could demonstrate how to handle a goatie.
