It was actually sent to me as men can fix anything, but I retitled it as
men can't fix anything
which, in looking at the pictures, is more descriptive and appropriate. :)
I can't link the specific images sent through email -- but here's a google search link that gives you the idea:
men can fix anything
Expert editing could make it a real hoot. |

Well, you're probably right.
We all know that women truly are the superior sex, and that's borne out upon the fact that:
Women can break anything!!!
;)
ETA: By the way, all that stuff looked perfectly fine to me. ;)

| I just figured if it wasn't expert editing, then I'd have to actually go build the thing!! And not being a man, I don't want to destroy my house. I'd rather virtually destroy it, instead. :) |

My wife has a joke... I've never really gotten it but women usually laugh so maybe you'll understand better than I.
Q ~ How many husbands does it take to change a light bulb?
A ~ I don't know! I'm on my third and still haven't found one!!!

Lol. Don't worry, it could be a good thing that you haven't really gotten it.
You'll get it (the lightbulb will come on so to speak) when you become the ex-husband ;) |

| Screw the lightbulbs, try getting a guy to change the toilet roll when it gets empty! Or not put back the milk jug when it only has a couple drops left in the bottom! |

Having been blessed with the ability to fix most anything, it amuses me to see how far down the path of ridiculous people will go rather than fix things right.

Often due to limited resources.

There's an enormous difference between creativity and out of the box thinking and ham-handed incompetence.
Having spent a great deal of time cleaning up after butchers like this, I know......

Sometimes it's a blessing to have a husband who is not so handy, two years ago the hinges fell of the kitchen cupboard, again...... so I called out to my husband to come and fix that wretched thing that was falling apart every couple of months. He was kind of tired of doing it over and over again, and just said 'oh why don't you just get a new kitchen' I thought to myself "YES MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE" as I always dreamed of getting a new kitchen! I said 3 times, 'are you sure' and to which he replied "YES" so the next day I started getting quotes, and walla after 3 weeks I had a whole brand new kitchen, lol!!!
Ps My husband is not so bad as a handyman really ;-------) And he gives me nearly everything I want, that's love, well nearly! |

The "Universal Tool Kit" contains only two items:
ΓΆ€ΒΆ duck tape (if it moves and it shouldn't)
ΓΆ€ΒΆ WD-40 (if it doesn't move and it should)
FWIW I once saw a guy at a service station fix a VW carburetor with a rubber band ... |

Not bad... :)
I fixed a leaky Rochester 4 barrel with JB weld. 15 years later and it's still holding just fine. |

You forgot "Hammer" for when WD-40 doesn't work right away... |

My dad told me that an adjustable wrench (usually the one made by Crescent) had another name when he was in the service, "Navy Hammer." |
