I'll give you that as to rescuing someone from a capsized boat, there is just too much that can go wrong in too many different ways for me to ever think I should attempt that. It would have to be my wife underneath the boat for me to even try.

14. Maneuver a car out of a skid

Re: 25 Skills Every Man Should Know

this list is funny due to it's context. What if they had a list of stuff a woman should know how to do. Like stuff a turkey, iron my slacks, dust the curtains, etc.

I just don't care to do many of these things. Help get a car unstuck? WTF does that mean?
