The Lion Sleeps Fitfully.

14 skills all men should possess.

14 out of 14, punks.

But I wholeheartedly agree with the skills added below. Because, honestly, I don’t think you REALLY need to know how to cook a fucking steak. If you can properly cook rice and chicken, you’re golden. And the ability to tie a tie, and to give a good solid hand shake: TOTALLY VITAL.

My score - 13/14. Sadly, I’ve never tried to change my own oil (weird, I know). It’s now my goal to do it. This weekend.

But it appears to me that there are several curious ommissions from the list. Some additions I’d propose:

The ability to pick-out and tie a tie,

The requisite knowledge to select a decent bottle of wine or scotch,

The ability to cook at least one dish from scratch, and without the help of a microwave,

The propensity to discern between a “Philips-head” and “Straight” Screw-head at a moment’s glance,

The skill to catch and clean a fish, if not for the sole purpose of being able to teach the skill to your future son),

The patience to deal courteously with a woman in the act of shopping,

A good handshake. If you’re still giving out the limp fish, you will inevitably fail at life.

13 out of 14. Can’t sew a button.
