Okay, maybe the water thing wasn't my fault,
but it sure made me look pretty dumb.
I don't need help in that arena--
I do fine all by myself.

Like when driving a car.
My wife doesn't like backing up a car,
especisally while parking it.
I do it all the time, either on the street
or in a parking area.
She's always saying it must be a man thing,
because she sees so many men do it,
and very few women.
So one night, as we were leaving her mom's house,
I put the car into reverse so I could pull
around the car in front of us.
She started talking about the "man" thing,
again and I backed straight into a small
truck that I had not noticed a few minutes prior.
There really wasn't much physical damage
to her car, but then, it didn't have to be.
