Manhood

Posted by: Michael Smith | 4 February, 2010 - 1:04 PM

I’ve discovered this radio show has a very broad range of listeners, including young ladies who care!

A couple of days ago my producer Aaron O’Brien disclosed a shameful chapter in his history. He couldn’t change the tyre on his car.

He compounded his crime against his manhood by seeking and accepting the help of a young lady who could change the tyre for him.

Aaron is 25. His manhood is now on a suspended sentence. He’s had to hand in his man-card for a term at the Governor’s pleasure.

This morning Aaron told me that he was speaking with his real estate agent. He’s just moved out of a rental property and he wanted his bond back. The real estate agent is a 22 year old young lady who loves talk-radio. She said she was in the car with a car-load of young female friends when she heard the story about Aaron not being able to change the tyre come over the radio. She told him the carload of girls broke into hysterics. She was proud, in a way, that it was her Aaron being outed on the radio. He’s getting his bond back, but I think she’s a bit concerned that he left the apartment a little too clean – if you get my drift. She’s said that she wants Aaron to get help and we’ll do our best to make sure he gets it.

What can we do to help Aaron get the man-card back? We need a 5 point plan. A pathway to manhood. Aaron’s agreed to do the “Women on Wheels” program – it will help with spanners, wheel-braces and jacks.

But there’s got to be more. What is the 5 point plan for his recovery? We need your contributions!

Here are a few starters from around the office:

Put together a chest of drawers from Ikea without instructions?

Successfully clean the barbie plate with just one stubby and the old egg-slice from the second drawer?

Clutch-start an EJ Holden on the flat with just one mate?

He needs your help. We can rehabilitate him. Please send us your advice.

Why learn when you have RACQ to help you?

He is lost, give him a man bag and send him on his way.

Women wanted equality they got girly men.

You reap what you sow...

Maybe Aaron (and everybody else) shouldn't be so concerned about gender specific roles, which went out of fashion with most people in the 60's.

Or, maybe Aaron just didn't have a loving father to teach him how to change a tire or do other manly things like be a slob.

Or, comedy option: drink a carton of beer, haha!

Oh how guilty I feel now! I feel so responsible for their super clean unit when they moved out. I supplied the guys with the eco cleaning products and the tick n flick list to do their rental bond clean. I'm so pleased the guys got their bond back.

So sorry Aaron about the tyre on the car. I don't have the tick n flick list for that.

I suggest that Aaron can clean the bbq faster and better than any other bloke while he sits back and drinks the beer.

Go Aaron!
