So what are men good for?

Postby geo » Wed May 20, 2015 5:49 am

...well making us all healthier! Yep, according to latest study, we really are useful :lol:

Amazing that evolution gives us a purpose... making the species healthier as a whole... but yet didn't give us enough brains to figure out how to easily feed ourselves properly. Its all about the food!

Well, healthier is not the same as healthy... In addition to failing to anticipate the modern supermarket, evolution also gave us tailbones and installed retinas backwards in our eyes etc. etc.

On the one hand, we'll never experience childbirth. On the other hand, we can open all our own jars. ~Bruce Willis :P

When things in my house break, or don't work or I need to have something heavy lifted and/or transported, I have to call somebody for help. Usually that person turns out to be a man.

Is there something gender specific to parallel parking? Did I miss something?
