The Mystery of Man
By lmhall | August 8, 2008
I’ve been told (by a man) that women tend to over complicate men, that they are really simple creatures and their needs are very basic.
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE men.
And boys.
But, I have a few questions:
Why do guys like to pee outdoors? Some evenings, Mr. GreenJeans will emerge from his man cave, and rather than use the modern plumbing down the hall, he’ll step out to take “a little air” and relieve himself outside. Males that I’ve surveyed on this subject, all agree. They like to water the lawn.
Why is it that if a repair needs to be done on the car or god forbid…the roof, my man usually wears his best clothes? Snags the pants on a shingle, or drips oil on the freshly pressed white shirt?
And speaking of dress clothes, I once knew a man who wore ball caps. Always. But he had a white one on reserve that only came out on special occasions. He called it his “dress ball cap”.
And finally, why do men get aroused when you say the word “tool“? Or apply lotion? Or for that matter…. when the wind blows?

We have the same “watering the lawn” issue on ocassion over here. I’ve asked what the deal is, only to have the subject changed! Thanks for the great shot of the Speedos. Ranks up there with the cute guy stocking groceries this morning at the S. Campbell Wal-Mart!

We are marking our territory.

Bus, I figured it was spraying the area, kind of like the cats next door.

Then again, if I am working in the yard, got oil and grease all over my clothes and grass and other stuff on my shoes, do I really want to incur the wrath of hte PVT RN by walking into the porcelian room and splashing on the carpet? Nah, any tree looks better.

Bus, makes sense. Guess I’m a little jealous. Also, I thought this was just a regional trend, but keyword search indicates that “peeing in the garden” is worldwide. Guess it’s just the nature of the beast.
Kirsten, never cared for the speedo, until I saw Mr. Phelps in one.

I’d far rather pee outside than in some dirty gas station. As for the idea near my house? Some ranchers say rattlesnakes steer clear of human pee. Its as good a reason as any to not bother walking all the way back to the house and put a few more gallons of water down my septic system.
Ball caps? I knew a guy like that too. His came off on his wedding day. He was like BOZO, totally bald underneath. NOW we understood.
Mr. Phelps. uhhh huh, uh yeah, ummmm. Speedos were stupid until last week.

Good point Candace, I’m all about repelling rattlers! Spray on!
