An Ode To My Pit Oder

or...

I'm A Man


You’re a woman, I’m a man…so let’s get some things straight.

I am not gross, listless, or lazy…I’m earthy, relaxed, and easy-going.
Nor am I callous, rude, or superficial…I’m rugged, to-the-point, and tell it like it is.

I may sing along with the music in the mall, but I’ll also shop-vac the bathroom when the toilet overflows.

I may forget your birthday or our anniversary, but I’ll also forget the wrecked car that was 3 weeks old or the trip to the hospital for bad fish.

I may not always say what you want to hear, but you’ll always hear exactly what I’m saying.

Neither simple nor arrogant, but uncomplicated and self-assured. When I’m out with my friends, I may complain about you…but everyone else had better keep their still-working mouths shut.

Not easily inspired, nor easily offended…weak when I’m sick, strong when I’m not…easy to please, difficult to disappoint.

I’ll scratch myself and take your side, even when both are not appropriate and involve our relatives.

My personality may distribute frustration and safety, loneliness and security..all in equal amounts..but I’m under the same rules as life, too…nothing more, or less.

...I don't cry over spilled milk; but spill my beer...!

Please learn the concept of a "live ball," and that being in front of the televion during one is a bad thing. I promise I won't derride "Friends" in return.

The garbage disposal may not work for weeks, but rest assured the recliner will never be broken for more than an hour.

And no, I don't know WHAT that thing is in the back of the refrigerator - I don't bother it, and it doesn't bother me!...

I do like to scratch but I need a programming manual for this remote. Anybody got one?

Hmmm...well it's not programmable anyhow..

[tossing remote over shoulder]

..that was the placebo remote, THIS is the real deal.

[hands Hazel a contraption that could only be described as something contructed by putting three calculators, a Palm Pilot, and a Fluke Multimeter through that teleportation device from The Fly]

That big red button is for 'Help'...the first three chapters of the manual will get you started, the rest is just technical stuff....say, do you live near an airport?

i have to check my manlyness for a moment. i was forced to read the instruction manual on programing my remote control. i feel this is justified since the only other option was to start at 000 and work my way up to 068 for my magnovox television.

No, no..that was *clerical* information. Looking up the capacitance of a particular part number is not the same as 'add 2 AA batteries as in figure Y'....

On a related note, it may help clarification during household communication if the noun 'remote' is replaced with the word 'penis'. This don't really work well as a pronoun, but when referring to a remote controller, it does kind of sum up the situation by saying:

"Ok dear, I'm going to read this book, you can have the penis now."

...at the urologist, scared him so bad he wet himself. Boy, was he pissed; had to get showered to cool off. He was steaming so he ended up dropping my sample on his shoes and squeaked when he walked all day, until he was relieved.

Not only that, if you wet SOS's head and use a slight rubbing motion, he'll take the perspiration stains out of an undergarment AND...*his* batteries are included.

P.S.
As for myself, while if you rub my belly I won't give you good luck, but I'll impart the realization that your luck wasn't really all that bad to start with until now...and I can sing all the words to Aladdin...while playing Quake III.
