Some things, only Dad can do.....
 
There are some things around the house (and in life) that it seems
only Dad can do (of course, there are exceptions to this rule, but
humor me). The one I encountered today:

Hear a toilet that is running and running and fix it (the chain got
caught under the flapper)

Why can no one else hear this and investigate?? Ah, the burdens we
bear.....

Okay folks....what else can only be done by Dad?

* Adding oil to the car (despite warning lights)
* Adding rinse aid to the dishwasher
* Cleaning the lint filter in the dryer
* Replacing HVAC filters
* Fixing blocked toilets (my personal fav)
* Cunnilingus

Hate to break it to you, but that last one can also be done by the
plumber, the gardener, the milkman, ... while Dad is away, of course.

Operation of the toilet seat. Apparently, in my house, I am the only
one who is required to lift the toilet seat and then put it back down.
I feel that if I lift it, others should put it down, and if I put it
down, others should lift it. Been arguing over this for 42 years. :-)

You must make allowances for female genetic differences. Women do not look
before they sit. They just don't, and can't be trained to do so.

If the seat is up when it's time to go, they'll get wedged in the bowl.

I suggest putting the seat down is a small investment in preventing the
necessary shattering of the toilet with a sledge to free the trapped female.

And when they complain about "not hitting the toilet," simply say "Well, you
try peeing while standing up and let's see how good you do."

Thanks for that explanation. I've tried to have my wife explain to

quite got it. Plus I am still confused if they mean the lid or the
seat.


You can try this training tool. I don't think it'll get the proper response,

And since they NEVER lift the seat up, they NEVER clean under the seat, that

Drill through the side of the bowl, and thread in a
schraeder valve (tire valve stem). When she gets stuck, pull
the valve core, hook up the air hose, inflate to about 28
PSI, and then scrape her off the ceiling.

A freind of mine has an eight year old boy. We're out to the
park a couple Saturdays ago. Light rain. I'm going this way
and that, to walk down the road and stay dry. Joshua goes
right to the center of the puddle, and stomps up and down. I
wonder if I was ever like that?

I grew up in a household where Mom was the only female. Mom learned to look.

I married into household where I was the only male. I learned to put the seat
down.

And all those old girl friends said I couldn't be trained....

No, no, since men sit for #2, why not sit for #1 and simplify

We **** standing up because we don't want to put our ass on a dirty
toilet seat unless it is absolutely necessary.

I've seen and heard about how there is more **** (and other things) on

Because they can. It is also a lot faster, when you are in a hurry.
Note also that aiming is still required when sitting down, unless you
are sure everything is tucked and oriented properly.

That's the solution I came up. I told SWMBO that if I had to put the

years.

No reason to miss unless you are a two year old or drunk. It is much easier

There's no Dad in our house, just a husband and a wife.

* Adding oil to the car (despite warning lights)


Neither of us likes messing with cars; we have the mechanic do it.

* Adding rinse aid to the dishwasher


Whichever of us notices that the indicator has gone all the way
down to "Add". Either of us might unload the dishwasher.

* Cleaning the lint filter in the dryer


Me, every time I use the dryer.

* Replacing HVAC filters


Either of us might do this.

* Fixing blocked toilets (my personal fav)


I'll use the plunger if I'm responsible for a FTF.
If a snake is required, I happily defer to my husband.

* Cunnilingus


Sorry, I'm just not that flexible (darnit).

He usually kills spiders, since he's arachnophobic.

The toilet seat rule in our house is: Make sure it's
the way you need it before you start.

If the toilet clogs, it is always the wifes fault for using too much
paper product.

We basically have the same rule you have in regards to the toilet
seat.

My wife usually kills all the spiders, because they bug her. :-) But,
she will catch a fly with her hand and throw it out the door. What's
up with that? I kill them all so they won't reproduce.

Some things, only Dad can do.....

There are some things around the house (and in life) that it seems
only Dad can do (of course, there are exceptions to this rule, but
humor me). The one I encountered today:

Hear a toilet that is running and running and fix it (the chain got
caught under the flapper)

Why can no one else hear this and investigate?? Ah, the burdens we
bear.....

Okay folks....what else can only be done by Dad?

It's not the "things that can only be done by Dad" that gets to me,
it's my total uselessness and ineptitude until they need something
done.

Apparently, even after being around for more than half-a-century and
raising a pretty decent family, I know nothing about life, jobs,
girls, boys, etc.

"Leave me alone."

"You don't know what you're talking about."

"It's different these days."

Followed by:

"Oh Daddy, my computer's broken, please fix it."

"Oh Daddy, there's a spider on my ceiling."

"Dad, can I borrow $20 until payday?"

"Dad, I can't get my brake pads off."

I guess if they didn't love me, I wouldn't be the one they turn to
when they need help. ;-)

You don't know what you're talking about. It's different these days.
Try $200 or $2000 ;-)
