Today I had the pleasure of removing the old refrigerator, and moving in the new one. This is the sort of work that men do. It’s neither appropriate nor possible for frail, fragile women to move such heavy and large pieces of equipment.
As I deftly maneuvered the large appliances around, I noticed the thick layer of sweat glistening on my body, and it reaffirmed my masculinity, not that it needed reaffirming. It was then that I was struck with the topic of this week’s exercise in stupidity.
Which is more manly: Moving a sofa or moving a refrigerator?

Moving both at the same time?

Sofa, you get the whole wedged situation when you reach a door, so then you have to decide to be smart or be a man and just bash it through a hole clearly to small for it to fit.

A real man would know that there is no hole too small for it to fit.

That just didn’t sound right, did it?

Obviously, a sofa. While a real man has sense enough to know this will require the help of another real man, this is one situation where aid is desirable.
Refrigerators require the use of a dolly. No real man would ever play with one of those, but there is a strap and the need to bind the dolly securely to an inanimate object…

Only if you’re a sissy. Dolls (This includes Star Wars “action figures”) and dollys are for girls,

Well now you’ve insulted both me and my Dick Chen…I mean, Darth Vader action figure. I hope you’re happy.

I think refrigerator. Why? Interior decorators move couches. Most men who are interior decorators are well….like THIS guy.

Well, it’s about time! I’m a woman and we are supposed to win arguments, especially retarded flame wars. ;P

“I’m a woman and we are supposed to win arguments, especially retarded flame wars.”
Isn’t saying the words arguments and retarded flame wars in the same sentence constitute an oxymoron?

Because dropping out has no minimum academic requirements. Either that or the Australian school system rivals the US for worthlessness.

It’s OK, RT. I don’t blame you for the fact that the system is more concerned with churning out conformity than it is with critical thinking.

It all makes sense now. In school, some idiot would say something stupid, I’d come back with a wise ass remark. The teacher would tell me to stop being so critical. And then ask me why I couldn’t be more like the rest of the kids?

The last time I had a movement on the sofa, my mom kicked me out of the house.
