Stick welding and the sewing machine... yea, but it's been a loooooong time. And I've never had to leave a sinking car, but I'm informed.

Everything else... hell yes. :mrgreen:

I freely admit, there's a lot on that list this girl can do, but why would I want to? Last time I had a flat, a guy came to the rescue and changed my tire for me. Being cute has its advantages. For everything else there's blow jobs.

97/100

Cant sweat pipes for crap, cant whittle...well not like a dog or a pineapple or artistic stuff but I can make excelsior like a son-of-a-gun, and my stick welding skills are for crap as well. Now for the other 97, just because I know how to do them doesn't mean I wont farm them out because I don't like to do them.


For everything else...

I can be a stick burning, pipe sweating, carve the statue of David from that pine tree in the front yard mofo here right quickly!

I just thought it would be interesting discussion. I wasn't trying to get people to open up about their inadequacies and short comings.

Well, following their instructions for three of those items will be dangerous....

For the faucet fixes, don't forget to turn off the water!

For the single-pole switch, turn off the power!

I'm really surprised the neglected those two essential steps. Well, OK, you can change a switch with the power live if you're careful (very careful)...but who want's a flood?

Guess I'll have to take welding, after all!

Their list of tools is for chit...no pipe wrench, no crescent wrench and no duct tape! The world as we know it will end without duct tape!

No nylon wire ties, either. What were they thinking?

I noticed plastic welding did not make the list but the skills involved are similar to tig welding.

For everything else there's blow jobs.That reminds me of the old joke about the rich girl and the chauffeur. The limo had a flat and the rich girl was watching the chauffeur attempting to take off the vehicle's hub cap. Wanting to be helpful, she asked "Would you like a screwdriver?" and the chauffeur replied "Might as well. Get in the back, I can't get this *^*&%%*( hub cap off!"

91/100.... the 9 remaining are things that are either irrelevant or that no gay-card holding man would even attempt.

They left out the emergency appendectomy, and tracheostomy using a swiss army knife, and whiskey, and a bullet.

Rudy can do that with chicken wire and old Motorola radio parts and have enough left over to build a supercomputer, a laser death ray and a UFO.
