Tis The Season...
Buying Christmas Gifts for Men:
Rule #1:
When in doubt - buy him a cordless drill. It does not matter if he
already has one. As a man, you can never have too many cordless
drills. No one knows why.
Rule #2:
If you cannot afford a cordless drill, buy him anything with the word
ratchet or socket in it. Men love saying those two words.
"Hey George, can I borrow your ratchet?" "OK. By-the-way, are you
through with my 3/8-inch
socket yet?" Again, no one knows why.
Rule #3:
You can buy men new remote controls to replace the ones they have worn
out. If you have a lot of money, buy your man a big-screen TV with
the little picture in the corner. Watch him go wild as he flips,
and flips, and flips.
Rule #4:
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 #5:
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 #6:
Men enjoy danger. That's why they never cook - but they will
barbecue. (No one knows why).
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 #7:
Men love chain saws. Never, ever, buy a man you love a chain saw.
If you don't know why - please refer to Rule #4 and what happens when he
gets a label maker.
Rule #8:
It's hard to beat a really good wheelbarrow or an aluminum extension
ladder. Never buy a real man a stepladder. It must be an
extension ladder. No one knows why.
Rule #9:
Rope. Men love rope. It takes us back to our cowboy origins, or at
least The Boy Scouts. Nothing says love like a hundred feet of
3/8" manila rope. No one knows why.
