Ive done about 15 of those. Still waiting on my opportunity to rescue a boater

16 for me, I still have a lot of work to do in regards to carpentry and mechanics - but technology and car sliding I'm pretty experienced with :].

EDIT: Should change this to a multi-choice poll. So we can see what the "In-demand" attributes are

20 for me.

Map and compass is an issue.

I have never rescued a boater,,,,,I dont have a wireless modem so have not set up a wireless network...and I dont believe in killing poor little animals, so have not had anything to do with guns....
but all the rest are good ticks....I think the list is a bit shortsighted for example...
???Change a nappy???...Any modern man (with kids) should be able to do that.
???Cook on the BBQ???...Essential for a kiwi bloke..

And there are bound to be others but I am too bloody tired to think.....

8. Fix a dead outlet

So how dead is the outlet? Has rigor mortis set in or is it still warm?

Great idea. But I can't have 25 options, can I??

Glad I'm not a man

Sounds too much like hard work

I could put a female one up if you want.

Bake a cake
Iron a shirt.....

(P/T before I get flamed)

[hospitalfood]

nothing about getting hard and pleasing girls/women?????

[deanohit]

Done all but the last one, even did 2 at once, rescued 2 guys in a boat and had to give 1 CPR. How do you extend a wireless network? and then all done.

And Klingon, it sure is a hard life being a man.

[hospitalfood]

I cant fillet a fish, the rest I've covered.
I think doing dumb shit should be in there.

[Shadows]

I guess that makes me only 94% man and I suppose should be marked down a bit for having moobs.
