I understand that your choice of topics is sometimes meant to be funny, but you should understand that most times you are simply creating work for me.

A FREEPER WRITES

Dear Silly:

I am organizing a metro-mancation, and we are all having a discussion about whether I should bring my butler. Is asking your butler to accompany you on a metro-mancation still a correct and civilized practice?

A concerned metrosexual

Dear Freeper:

Good question. OF COURSE you bring your butler to your metro-mancation.

If you didn’t, who is going to tell your footmen where to set up the tents and grills?

Like, duh.

The Westminster man plans trips with his friends together several times a year -- to Vail, West Virginia, the Colorado mountains, Las Vegas and New Mexico.

Sounds like he may want to be on a permanent "mancation".

[Clam Digger]

My vacations consist of a couple large coolers full of beer, fishing gear and an extra pair of shorts, taking the old mans boat out to sea for a week.

I'd love to take a man-cation, but all this good stuff is keeping me chained to my computer.

More men arrange for ‘mancations’

Not that there’s anything wrong with that..........
