Free classes for men

Radio Question of the Day:

Name the "rock group" that has four members, all of whom are dead, one of whom was assassinated...
********************************

As usual I have absolutely nothin’ to say. So, I’ll say it anyway. I’ve been reading instead of doing lots of stuff I should be doing. Friend of mine said I should get my husband Niks to do the housework. That Irene. As if. (I know that there are lots of men who do some work around the house, but I didn’t marry one of those. Let’s make that SOME men who do housework. Not LOTS.)

So, Irene offered up some classes Niks could take in order for the old dog to learn some new tricks:

You know, I've had moments of idle curiousity about a lot of those topics. I wonder if they're given locally. Especially the one about Real Men Ask For Directions When Lost, location to be determined.

Mount Rushmore *snicker*

Now those are clever.... however i'm the one who needs to enroll. My DH is the neat one.

That question of the day has to be my favorite so far. Hope your having a great summer.

Saur♥Kraut said...

Oh that's funny.

Anonymous said...

the joke, the post, it's all good! and all funny. mostly, it just makes me happy to see you writing, because you are one clever lady!

and i LOVE these classes, altho', i'm happy to report my husband has managed to successfully pass most of 'em! i think i've shared my technique for "getting the clothes into the laundry basket" with you. (actually, it works so well, they've asked me to be a guest speaker at that Saturday Seminar the 2nd Sat., if i'm not mistaken)

GREAT post, TLP!! oh, and, just between you and me, i want you to know i voted for you, like, twenty times last week in Sar's caption contest, because i thought your line was hilarious. but there was no stopping that voting machine attached to Quilldancer... (not that her's wasn't funny, too!) xoxo

I think the radio guys are OUT of questions.

As for those classes, I could probably take a few. I am bad at just putting the empty ice trays back in the freezer - figuring that using magic they refill on their own. Also, I was not aware there was a difference in the hamper and the bathroom floor!!!

By the way, unless you read this comment before 4 PM on Thursday, I am out to sea!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

mireille said...

I'm with Actonbell on that group practice one being scary. Get out the Clorox disinfecting wipes. xoxo

Lila said...

Those are great!

I could take this one:

The Stove/Oven --- What It Is and How It Is Used.
Live Demonstration.

Kyahgirl said...

OH TLP, you have me rolling on the floor with this one. Do you think that if I wore a disguise I could slip into the class on the ice cube trays?

oh, and Mt Rushmore-cute.

Ignatius M. Dedd said...

I get it! ROCK! I get it!

Rachel said...

Haa!! I'm sure the men will line up for some of these classes!!

The radio question was a trick question today, but cute anyway!!

Kyahgirl said...

You may not believe this, Sis, but I actually got the radio question of the day. (Only I thought it was probably wrong!)

G said...

or on the dishes, once in the sink will each hour untouched bring them closer to a cleaner resolution?

Somehow, I don't feel so lonely anymore. Fun post.

Fred said...

I won't admit to needing any of this. Doing so would be a sign of weakness.

Is there a class for that?

Sar said...

Ohhhh now that's a classic TLP post! *sniff* I'm feeling nostaligic.

I enjoyed this, TLP, even the "punny" radio joke.

Self help, when thrust upon you is a great teacher Lucy, great to see you back again, I was missing for a week and have nearly caught up so it was a pleasant surprise to find some TLP wisdom again.
