I was talking to a woman visiting the shelter recently and as I walked her to her car we noticed her tire was flat. I suggested getting some manpower to change the tire instead of waiting for AAA so I went back inside and said hey, does anyone here know how to change a tire? which received zero replies from the ten or so men in the lobby. Rethinking my strategy I then said Is there anyone here MAN ENOUGH to change a tire? And I kid you not, four dudes stood up immediately and followed me out to the car. Bingo.
Some things cross socio-economic lines much easier than others.

It's all in the asking. :)
men.
you can't live with 'em. . .
Semantics antics.
appeal to the huevos, baby....
That's hilarious!
Sometimes it's just a matter of knowing which language to use. Semantics.. as you say. :) That's funny!
snort. well done.
LOL. Men. Don't want to help until you challenge their manhood. ;)
I always find that questioning their manhood gets you much farther than, say, flattery. Or money. But sex, now that really gets them.
I guess that doesn't really work in this situation though. Eh.
Ahhh, you are fluent in testosteronese. You can use that in every country in the world, so...you're good.
Luv it!
Nice! ;)
Brilliant - I would not have had, ahem, the balls. I would have just walked back out annoyed and determined to take care of it myself.
Walking out to my college roommate's car on Fell Street in the Tenderloin, a dumpster diver popped out of the dumpster we were parked in front of and muttered,
"remember, rightsie tightsie, leftside loosie"
and with that, he popped back down. Words to live by.
good job, Jen! Work the system!
That was so funny and the absolute perfect story! Take care.
Really? You said that? Beautiful!
That is completely hilarious!
Gotta use it for what you can. The rest of the time that macho stuff is a real pain in the kiester. Heh.
Too funny and too true.
That is a RIOT!
nicely done
(and off topic, I find myself saying dumbassery all the time these days. )
SNORT!
WOrds do make a difference, don't they :)
Excellent!
Ah! The threat of emasculation. Killer.
oh jen! dumbassery indeed. Bu good for you.
Some things are universal!
Heidi
It's all in the delivery.
Kudos to you, as usual.
Dude, I will totally remember that in the future.
Genius, Jen. Genius.

Awesome. Dude.
