"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

What happens when the civilizing effect of women is absent
Thank you for that great solution to my orchard-pruning problems. My bride refused to drive the crane or the mower, but I have worked out a way to by-pass the safety switches on the mower seat. I will be able to do the whole job from the crane cab.

Who cut the beer cans and made them into links for the Christmas tree? Well, that one was a joint effort. The guy with the mower is definitely single. His wife probably died of fright.
Rinardman, when you can have a baby, deal with the eleven-year-old's bedwetting, stand by the bed of the spouse's dying stepfather because the spouse can't do it, raise children, run a household, hold a full-time job, and get an education all at the same time, then we'll talk about women's easy jobs. Don't even get me started on the other stuff.
I don't get it.
ReplyDeleteThe photos seem normal to me....
ReplyDeleteI don't see any problems here.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, some of the arrangements are quite original.
Hey, my son did the same thing with his drill when their mixer broke. They put it on Facebook, with the caption: "Redneck cooking".

Ha ha ha ha ha.
ReplyDeleteSo true.
Did you see the link at the bottom - Why women live longer than men.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures make the answer obvious....because men have to do all the really risky jobs! Women get the easy stuff. ;)

ReplyDeleteThis is me, applauding one of my heroes (((RebeccaH))). You are one of those who reminds my daughter she CAN do whatever she must. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI really like that first picture, Paco, thank you, too!
