Yesterday, I was talking with a couple of people about how every man should be able to do certain things, like know how to grill. This includes, of course, knowing how to start a grill, be it of the coal or gas persuasion.
In a stunning coincidence -- and yes, I swear it is a coincidence -- the GQ style guy posted last night on the exact same matter. Some enterprising soul has published a book called What a Man Should Know. It is exactly what it sounds like
While some of his list and my list overlap, I humbly present just a few of the things every man should know:
How to grill.
How to tie a tie. There are three common ways to do this. Yes, three.
How to open a bottle of wine. And champagne.
How to drive a stick.
How to parallel park.
How to jump a car.
How to change a tire.
How to unsnap a bra. This must be done with one hand and without peeking. Bonus point if her shirt is not off yet. Extra bonus points if you do it while both of you are walking down the street.
How to bribe a maitre'd by doing the handshake where you slip them a folded up bill during a quick handshake.
How to sweet-talk a secretary.
How to start a bonfire. And how to put it out without using the drunk annoying guy who keeps trying to get everyone to jump over it.
How to clean and gut a fish. Bonus points for catching the fish with your bare hands.
How to throw a spiral.
How to get the bartender's attention at a crowded bar within two minutes.
How to serve beer from a pitcher without spilling.
How to mix a martini.
How to keep driving in a straight line while getting a [censored]. Must retain ability to use the turn signals and make prudent use of the horn. One involuntary honk is OK.
How to keep it classy and stop before he goes too far.
