BRETT COHEN makes a killer omelette, drinks his vodka on the rocks, and can change a flat tire in less than five minutes. He lives in Pennsylvania.
Introduction
Here are a few things that I learned in school:
• How to calculate the circumference of a circle
• How to ask “May I go to the bathroom?” in Spanish
• The hierarchy of leadership in the medieval feudal system
Here are a few things that I did not learn in school:
• How to calculate my golf handicap
• How to pick up a girl in Spanish
• The hierarchy of poker hands
There’s a pattern here: School will teach you reading, writing, and everything you need to ace a standardized test. But the classroom will get you only so far—especially if you’re a man.
Men should know how to jump-start a car. Men should know how to start a campfi re. Men should know how to order wine from a waiter in a five-star restaurant. But if you’re like most guys, no one ever told you how to do any of this stuff.
That’s where this book comes in. It’s a compendium of all the little things guys are expected to know—from doing push-ups and shotgunning a beer to deciphering the Wall Street Journal stock index. I’ve included instructions for stocking a bar, fi lling a toolbox, and buying a basic wardrobe. Along the way I’ve included information that’s not truly essential but still kind of fun—so the next time you’re challenged to shotgun a beer, you’ll know exactly what to do.
Now sit back, relax, and pay attention. This stuff is important.
