I'm a horrible gentlemen

How good of a gentleman are you? I hope you fare better with this meme than I did. The skills in bold are one I actually possess. Yeah 6/23 makes me a regular James Bond. *shrug*

  1. Change a flat tire. Had to learn real fast when I was about 22. I have done it once since then.
  2. Carve a turkey. No, the opportunity never arose
  3. Open a bottle of champagne. Yep.
  4. Change the car oil. Someone suggested teaching me. I passed.
  5. Can recommend a good barber. I'd recommend my barber. I'm not particular about my hair at all
  6. Tie a bowline, clove hitch, and a square knot. I don't even know what those are.
  7. Chop wood. Manual labor? Ack.
  8. Shoot a rifle. Maybe someday.
  9. Make a dry Martini. No experience on that one
  10. Keep a checkbook balanced. I can do it if the need arises. I remember learning in 3rd grade.
  11. BBQ. Not really. I let other people handle that.
  12. Lay a fire. I would almost certainly screw this up.
  13. Change a fuse. Aren't they obsolete now?
  14. Polish shoes. Not really. I assume it's easy to learn.
  15. Read and understand stock quotes. I'm completely lost when it comes to the financial world.
  16. Keep score at a baseball game. Ugh. Why would I even be there?
  17. Jump start a car. Haven't done that in a long time, but probably could.
  18. Know how to throw a punch. I'll stick to the Buster Bluth fighting style.
  19. Own a tux. Again, no. I don't even like wearing ties.
  20. Know how to judge a new wine. If you mean guess it's alcohol content.
  21. Do your own taxes at least once in your life? Back when I first joined the work force. Not that hard.
  22. Know how to play poker. Not really. I played it off and on in middle school until the teachers shut it down. Prudes.
  23. Carry a handkerchief. No. Kleenexes are ubiquitous anyway.
