More rules for buying gifts for men

Rule #6:
Buy men label makers. Almost as good as cordless drills. Within a couple of weeks there will be labels absolutely everywhere. “Socks” “Shorts” “Cups” “Saucers” “Door” “Lock” “Sink”... You get the idea. No one knows why.

Rule #7:
Never buy a man anything that says “some assembly required” on the box. It will ruin his Special Day and he will always have parts left over. No one knows why.

Rule #8:
Men enjoy danger. That’s why they never cook - but they will barbecue. Get him a monster barbecue with a 100-pound propane tank. Tell him the gas line leaks. “Oh the thrill! The challenge! Who wants a hamburger?”

Rule #9:
Tickets to a football game are a smart gift. However, he will not appreciate tickets to “A Retrospective of 19th Century Quilts.” Everyone knows why.

Rule #10:
Men love chainsaws. Never, ever, buy a man you love a chainsaw. If you don’t know why - please refer to Rule #8 and what happens when he gets a label maker.

Rule #11:
It’s hard to beat a really good wheelbarrow or an aluminum extension ladder. Never buy a real man a step ladder. It must be an extension ladder. No one knows why.

Rule #12:
Rope. Men love rope. It takes them back to their cowboy origins, or at least The Boy Scouts. Nothing says love like a hundred feet of 3/8” manila rope. No one knows why.

That’s really great! But where are rules 1 - 5?

Meh. I love "some assembly required." I get to get my tools out, and maybe, just maybe, I'll have a really good excuse to buy a new tool.

Those who know of me here know that I am a classic VW owner. Here's a picture from John Muir's book "How To Keep Your Volkswagen Alive - A Manual Of Step By Step Procedures For The Compleat Idiot"



Some Assembly Required
Come to think of it, I had mine torn down almost that far.....
