21st Century Knight
Saturday, August 16
I think there's an unwritten rule somewhere in society decreeing that guys cannot refuse cries of help from girls. Cries of help to unclog toilets, carry all their shopping bags, change light bulbs...and to fix printers. We have to call upon that inborn knight-in-shining-armor mentality and help damsels in distress fix their printers!
(And get lambasted later by wife/girlfriend for being overtly macho, or a useless mummy's boy, miserable failure etc etc etc.)
A female friend, Shelly, recently mentioned that she couldn't turn on her inkjet printer. Acting on that unwritten rule, I gallantly went down to her house one evening to try and fix that misbehaving printer.
After 'fixing', which involved checking that the power was turned on and the cable was plugged in properly, we still couldn't get the printer to work. I declared the printer to be spoilt and told her to call the repair company. This amounted to a grand total of 5 minutes.
I'm not very good at fixing printers eh?
