Most guys like cars and everything to do with them - car shows, mods, F1, WRC, GT Queens and so on. I like only GT Queens. I'm just not that much of a car guy. In fact, for most part of my life, I can never identify a vehicle I see on the road. In fact, I can identify kitchen utensils more than automobiles.
Lately, however, I had been given the task of recommending some cars for the company. And so I took on the task industriously - as I do with any task given to me. *ahem* And over the last month or so, all I have been looking at are brochures, catalogs and automotive websites. As a result, I now know more cars than I used to.
"That's a Alfa Romeo 156," I tell Mae. She nods knowingly and so I add smugly, "Yes, I recognise them now," and added a little "Hmph" for effect.
"Wow," Mae exclaimed animatedly, "you're like a real man now." Like.
I shall have to educate her tonight. After I'm done fixing the kitchen faucet, repairing our vacuum cleaner and doing all the macho shit I have to do all day.
yeah, real man fix faucets, heh heh

ReplyDeletem.o.t.t - mebbe mae is more adept in the plumbing area?

LOL! So I guess the next step will have to be football, F1, harley davidson, 500cc bike, cuban cigars, plumbing and don't give a damn to what Mae say... right?

you can tell that I don't know what pecan colour looks like.. nor would I bother.. but.. I should learn soon right? *grin*
Ehehehee... no wonder i suddenly turn boyish when i talk about cars with my girlmates... LOL!
ReplyDeletei am sure that Mae doesn't mean it that way ... just some random words ... don't take it that seriously ...
ReplyDeletei am sure she has no doubt that you're THE man of her life ... and Jesse's life, and possibly your mum's life.

Paulos, you can only conquer the womenfolk if you fout out what makes them tick, even if it's pecan lavender scented lipstick. :lol:
Ah, Alison, that's your inner boy-child coming out.
No worries GreenApple. If I can make one, I can make another. Hahhh
