"In the past decade or so, the women's magazines have taken to running home-handyperson articles suggesting that women can learn to fix things just as well as men. These articles are apparently based on the ludicrous assumption that men know how to fix things, when in fact all they know how to do is look at things in a certain squinty-eyed manner, which they learned in Wood Shop." - Dave Barry

I love Dave Barry. He knows what he's talking about. The longer I live with a man, the more convinced I am that he doesn't know how to fix more things around the house than I do, he's just better at acting like he knows what he's doing and is more likely than I am to have electrical tape on hand.
