If the women don't find you handsome...

then they’d better find you handy.
Im almost 52 years old. Today I received the ultimate compliment.

for the past several weeks, I’ve been working inside a fish processiing plant. I was hired to utilize my composite knowledge to solve some surface problems in the walls and floors where bacterial colonization is a possibility despite ongoing disinfecting procedures. I know that the improvements I’m making are impressing people. The plant is crawling with almost a hundred beautiful women and maybe a dozen somewhat younger boys doing the grunt work.

Today I was working near where a dozen or so women about 25 to 30 were clocking out. They were whispering and giggling loudly. Then one of them moved towards me and asked if I was married. She said the girls have been wondering about for quite a while :wink:

Well I did respond somewhat flushed that I was indeed happily married but considering the shock I was in I can’t remember their response. I proudly reported this to my wife to let her know that I’m still a marketable commodity.

Damn, life is good.

:cool:

It’s always nice to be reminded that you still have IT. :slight_smile:

can I have your un-needed women?

Woo hoo!

Brains are always a turn-on.

You stud, you. :cool:

Yes, being competent is a studly quality, I’ve found.

That, and doing Dad-stuff.

One evening, I was playing around with my son. We were laughing uproariously over stupid stuff and generally having a good time.

Well, Mrs. Dave-Guy practically threw herself at me later on. She told me that it was watching and hearing me interact with the boy that did it.

While I don’t claim to understand or appreciate this, I will in no wise spurn the knowledge.

Damn! I’m clearly living in the wrong universe. Women (my wife included) never throw themselves at me. The best I get for successful execution of difficult jobs is an “attaboy”.

Wanna borrow my son?

Thanks for the offer, but I don’t think that playing with your son would impress Pepper Mill as much as playing with our daughter, and that doesn’t seem to do it.

The closest I’ve come to expressed female approval was the time a lesbiab friend complinented me on my legs, but I could see that wasn’t going to go anywhere.

Another reason to move to the West Coast!

Hrrm maybe I should try this ‘handy’ thing out.

Obviously cooking skills and bartending skills aren’t working…

And I don’t think Virology will net me any women… Well there was this female chimp that was giving me the eye a few days ago… Ok I’m too sober to go into that.

I’m assuming that to be handy I need more than two screwdrivers and an old boot for hitting things that don’t work yes?

Given the beginning of this thread, these improvements, they use duct tape, no?

Cooking, bartending and viruses! So, CRorex how you doin? :wink:

I once received seven simultaneous marriage proposals while talking to the billing department. We were making small-talk waiting for the latest test run to print and I mentioned something about having done the laundry the previous evening.

My wife was not really impressed. Of course, she is the one who, in a discussion on the romantic nature of mates, noted that she had married me because I was “steady.”

I guess I make a better spouse than a date.

Yeah, I’m the professional hired killer extraordinaire, and my customers think I’m the greatest.

Does my wife swoon when I do exterminating around the house?

No.

Dave, Thats probably because she has to nag you to get the job done. My mother says " A shoemaker’s wife always walks in shoes in need of repair" :smiley:

** Rob **, Do you ever see any women on Red Green’s show? Actually I find red sheathing tape a whole lot stickier than duct tape and just as strong with a couple of extra wraps. :slight_smile:

What a great show, the Red Green Show.

But if the women don’t find me handsome, does that mean I can have 12242 posts like handy does?

WAIIIIIIIT a second here. I’m having trouble grokking this one. You finish a long day of work, and you REEK OF ROTTING FISH BACTERIA and 25-30 women find you appealing enough to hint about dating you?

Damn, boy. I wanna be like you !

:smiley:

Well, seeing as you have no use for it, can I have some of whatever it is you’ve got?

I sure need it.

Am I the only one who is wondering how he is fixing the walls and floors?
