[Elfsea] FW: [Loch-Ruadh] Men's gifts

[Wilkerson, Glen D]

I prefer to place it where they trip over it.  If they fall hard enough
you won't have to use the gun...

And, if you place the box of ammunition where people get just a peek of
it, they will assume you have the gun that uses it!

>With the holidays approaching, use these Shopping Rules for Men's  
>Gifts
>
>Rule #1:
>
>When in doubt - buy him a cordless drill. It does not  matter if he 
>already has one. I have a friend who owns 17 and he has yet  to 
>complain.  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:
>
>If you are really, really broke, buy him  anything for his car. A 
>99-cent  ice scraper, a small bottle of deicer  or something to hang 
>from his  rear view mirror. Men love gifts for  their cars. No one 
>knows why.
>
>
>Rule #4:
>
>Do not buy men socks. Do not  buy men ties. And never buy men
bathrobes.
>I was told that if God had wanted  men to wear bathrobes, he wouldn't 
>have invented Jockey shorts.
>
>
>Rule  #5:
>
>
>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 #6:
>
>Do not buy a man any of those fancy  liqueurs, except Godiva.  If you 
>do, it will sit in a cupboard for 23 years.
>
>
>Rule  #7:
>
>Do not buy any man industrial-sized canisters of after shave  or 
>deodorant. I'm told they do not stink - they are earthy.
>
>
>Rule  #8:
>
>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 #9:
>
>Never buy a man anything that says "some  assembly required" on the  
>box.  It will ruin his day and he will  always have parts left over.
>
>
>Rule #10:
>
>Good places to shop for  men include Northwest Iron Works, Parr Lumber,

>Home Depot, Lowes, John Deere,  Valley RV Center, and Les Schwab Tire. 
>(NAPA Auto Parts and Sears' Clearance  Centers are also excellent men's
>stores.)  It doesn't matter if he  doesn't know what it is. "From NAPA 
>Auto, eh?
>Must be something I need.  Hey isn't this a starter for a '68 Ford 
>Fairlane? Wow! Thanks.")
>
>
>Rule  #11:
>
>
>Men enjoy danger. That's why they never cook - but they will  barbecue.
>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 #12:
>
>Tickets to a football, hockey  or basketball game are a smart gift.
>However, he will not appreciate tickets  to "A Retrospective of 19th 
>Century Quilts." Everyone knows why.
>
>
>Rule  #13:
>
>Men love chainsaws. Never, ever, buy a man you love a Chainsaw.
>If  you don't know why - please refer to Rule #8 and what happens when 
>he gets a  label maker.
>
>
>Rule #14:
>
>It's hard to beat a really good wheelbarrow or  an aluminum extension 
>ladder. Never buy a real man a step ladder. It must  be an extension 
>ladder. No one knows why.
>
>
>Rule #15:
>
>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.
