You can "do" your nails with a pocketknife.:D I do mine with my Leatherman Wave. Even file them smooth. One time I said to my wife, "Reason #152 why it's good to be a guy: We can trim our nails with multi-tools." She looked me and went: :rolleyes:

The whip is right, but the other hand is empty. It should not be.

Well, when I talked to here, she said it was usually "practically empty".

Nice. I actually had a conversation about tanks last weekend with my girlfriend's brother.

I would, however, change the 'doing your nails with a pocket knife' post. You don't really need a knife when you have teeth.

When I read "tanks" my first thought was, well, I have a plastic tank that holds about 3 gallons of gas.

Oops, wrong kind. Guess I just proved I'm a girl. :p

Tanks are cool. I took this picture from the loader position of an M1A1 Abrams (the U.S. main battle tank). The guy there is sitting in the gunner position. The guy to the right is sitting in the commander position. The breech of the main gun is to the left, so I'm actually in no-man's land because I would get nailed when the gun went off.

Cool tank fact: The M1A1 can aim and fire on targets while moving, giving it a huge advantage over tanks that don't have this capability.

I remember getting to climb on old WWI tanks at Cantigny when I was a kid. :D

Yeah, it's just in fun.

Interesting to note that the woman's thread is full of rebuttals from guys, whereas the opposite hasn't happened here. Wonder which group takes teasing better. :p

I've wondered how comfortable the seating is inside those things during a long run. Supposedly better than humvees from what I've heard.

I met this guy at church party. He was a retired navy chopper pilot. We found an interesting subject right away. They tought him to shoot rockets at russian tanks behind the second wheel on either side - and (other) they tought me to fix russian tanks.

Just for the record, from the left side you will get the driver and on the right side is fuel tank with 100mm rounds in it; can't go wrong.

The garage is all yours.

Half yours

You can kill your own food.

Uh ... not here buddy.

If you are 34 and single, nobody notices.

Except maybe your MOM!! :eek:

You can quietly enjoy a car ride from the passenger's seat.

That's coz the one doing the driving is my designated driver and I'm passed out in a pool of puke

You don't have to clean your apartment if the meter reader is coming.

I'm the one that cleans the house, man. sheeesh! :rolleyes:

You don't mooch off other's desserts.

I kinda like it when she mooches off mine. ;)

You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt.

You've obviously never had to work on left-handed hardware ....

Thanks for the laughs! :D
