What every man needs is a Gurney. It gives us the three things any man needs for a spiritual experience. Instant Results. Men love instant results. With a gurney you got dirty concrete then its clean. None of this what are you thinking stuff. No emotions involved, no discussion. Secondly it involves repetitive, mindless motion. In the words of a famous standup comic, men's minds are made up of tiny little boxes. Each box can contain only one thing. Everything has a box, everything should be put in its right box. Except our nothing box. We have one box with nothing in it. Its our favourite box. The best way to get into our nothing box is to do something with mindless repetitive motion.
Thirdly and most importantly it has a motor. Any man will tell you that there is nothing better than the sound of a Briggs and Stratton in the morning.
So, instant results, mindless motion and the sound of a motor in the morning, means for me a wonderful mid semester break
