From the mind of Men

This morning, as I was cleaning up for a meeting at work. By cleaning up I mean wetting my hair and using a disposable razor I stole from a museum exhibit on flint spear-points from the stone age. A narrative voice appeared in my head. "Now when you want to get ready for a meeting you need to have the right equipment. Many top-notch spies now that you can spend $100's of dollars at a hair salon; or you can go to the dollar store and spritzer bottle with some bathroom soap and cheap hairspray will leave you presentable".

My point, and I do have one. My wife and I (mostly my wife) watch this show called Burn Notice on T.V. and this cool spy (who my wife is in love with) always works on these cases trying to find out who got him put out of the spy business. Anyway during the course of the show he narrates how spies do cool stuff, like surveillance, and breaking into and out of places. Probably mostly bunk; but it sounds really cool and macho.

So now, and I suspect most men are like this; whenever I do mundane tasks, I have this cool narrative voice in my head making even the most boring things sound SPY-LIKE :)
"When your mowing a lawn, the edges might be important, but the real key is........"

We also (men and most children) do this with sports announcers. I'll do this with anything (well not anything). "John has been a little bit off on his tooth-brushing this season, but I look for him to finish strong". "That's write Bill, and don't forget this is a man who can floss". Stu, wasn't he actually drafted for his ability to floss?" I think so, but he's always dangerous with those choppers. He's a guy who can brush with electric or hand-held......" I rinse spit, then me Keith Jackson, Al Michaels, and Bob Costas leave the bathroom.
