Gifts For Him written by Ima Woman…..
If you are really, really broke, buy him anything for his car. A 99-cent ice scraper,
a small bottle of de-icer or something to hang from his rear view mirror. Men
love gifts for their cars. No one knows why.
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?” No one knows why.
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. Again, no one knows why.
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.
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.
Do not buy a man any of those fancy liqueurs. If you do, it will sit in a cupboard
for 23 years. Real men drink whiskey or beer.
Do not buy any man industrial-sized canisters of after shave or deodorant. I’m told
they do not stink – they are earthy.
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.
Never buy a man anything that says “some assembly required” on the box. It will
ruin his Special Day and he will always have parts left over.
Good places to shop for men include Northwest Iron Works, Parr Lumber, Home Depot,
John Deere, Valley RV Center, and Les Schwab Tire. (NAPA Auto Parts 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.”
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?”
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.
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.
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″ manilla rope. No one knows why.
Hey I’m just saying. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!
Have a great Thursday people, stay inside, and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up!
Peace, I am outta here! Eucman!

Wednesday’s Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from??? ”
“I can’t carry [the ring] for you, but I can carry you!”
Answer: ‘The Return of the King’
This is from ‘The Return of the King’ when Frodo (Elijah Wood) is struggling to climb Mount Doom to destroy the ring and Sauron, after his epic journey. His life-long devoted friend (and gardener!) Samwise (Sean Astin) heaves him up the mountain to the Cracks of Doom where after a change of heart for the worse, Frodo fights Gollum for the ring. It is eventually Gollum’s lust for the ring that sends him falling with it to his death.
This film won 11 Oscars, although it is widely accepted that the awards were for the entire “Lord of the Rings” trilogy as a whole. Quite faithfully adapted from J.R.R. Tolkien’s most famous work, the films tell of Frodo’s journey to the Cracks of Doom after inheriting the mysterious One Ring from his uncle. Accompanied by The Fellowship which includes men, a dwarf, an elf and several other hobbits, they face almost continuous perils as they try to protect Frodo and stop the ring falling into the wrong hands.
The ‘Lord of the Rings’ films are amongst my all-time favourites but there’s quite a large helping of cheese served with a lot of Frodo and Sam’s scenes together. Actually, the worst part of all three films is near the end of ‘The Return of the King’ when Frodo is recuperating and the remaining Fellowship members all come in and start clapping and bouncing on his bed. I couldn’t put that in this quiz though, as there are no lines spoken.
