[Kimmers]

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

3. Change a diaper so that the baby is cleaner and you are no dirtier than when you started.

Stop right there!!!! I am NOT changing a diper... I did not have kids,,, so forget it!!! Fatherhood has become a jail....

...#39... I’m angry at my apathy.

[CodeToad]

The list sounds like it was written by a chick.

[VanDeKoik]

#4 - Just not something I want to have to learn.

#13 - Exit only thank you.

#28 - I’ve actually done that. But I’ve applied it for several scenarios.

#30 - I just prefer a car with an automatic transmission.

#42 - No.

[SoothingDave]

Why would I need to know how to use mass transit? In case I have to give advice to a poor person?

[Wilderness Conservative]

20. Tell a joke that is (a) clean, and (b) funny.

Eff that.

[OCC]

50. Be able to list at least 50 more things a man should be able to do.

1. Start a list tomorrow.

[kalee]

ping

[cardinal4]

a Man should be able to turn it up to 11..

[eyedigress]

14. Know what a prostate is.

Arizona

[RandallFlagg]

28. Make a plan for the first 24 hours after a zombie apocalypse—Sounds silly but you’d be surprised how much you can learn about yourself by thinking through unlikely scenarios.

#28 is relevant to the ping list folks.(The rest are pretty good, too.)

[TheOldLady]

Too girly for you?

[Doomonyou]

Kill your own food. Can’t do that, the rest don’t matter.

[Billthedrill]

Diaper, no. Know how to change a tire. (Not getting poop on you is an added bonus there, too.) How to jump-start and tow a car is vital as well.

Knowing how to help a friend who is suicidal because his ex-wife took him for everything he had, including his house and his kids, is a very handy skill. You will need it.

Know how to rub some dirt on it and play ball.

Every real man knows that #30 is only partially correct , you can push start old MoPars with certain A727 tranny’s as they have a rear pump.

I'll bet the only ones ZERO can do is 13,14 and 42 because he's homosexual.

I'll give him 25 but only because he can only recite the koranus. He doesn't get 33 because the wookie is growing the garden and i'll bet it's been mowed over. I know dam good and well he can't do a 37.

[PA Engineer]

4. Perform CPR and the Heimlich maneuver.

Also remember to raise an unconscious person's legs first to increase blood pressure. You may not need to perform CPR.

13. Get a prostate exam without crying.

I agree. Notice this is singular, because I will never have another one again.

18. Know the four lifesaving steps—stop the bleeding, start the breathing, protect the wound, treat for shock.

See #4.

30. Push-start a car with a manual transmission—By the way, as I learned in the summer of 1988, you can’t push start a car with an automatic transmission. (I still don’t know why I was stomping on the brake as if it were a clutch.)

Not true. My 61 Falcon and 67 Dart both coast started.

42. Hug another man.

Men don't hug and mauve is not a color.
