[pct-l] Bring a man

[cvano at tmail.com]

Bill, you forgot to mention a few important things about real men; a 
real man like me for instance.

A real man can enjoy a mean cup of your coffee seamingly with gusto.

A real man can fall to someone else's cooking with reckless abandon.

A real man can secret the last Snickers bar deep within his tummy in 
less than 3 minutes should you be accosted by any Trail Pirates.

A real man will let you keep him warm at night.

A real man will give you guidance and tips when setting up your tent, 
wondering which way to go, etc.

A real man will let you know when a bear is attacking your Bearvault.

A real man will always say 'Yes Dear' at appropriate and/or random times 
when ever you feel like talking.

A real man is hard to find, but there may be one or two on this list 
besides myself who would make an ultimate sacrifice of themselves and 
volunteer their services....

And I'm not even in cahoots with Switchback.. Yet!
