Real Men of Genius

Do you remember those Bud Light commercials featuring “Real Men of Genius?”  If not, they were pretty funny and I had a recent experience which made me think of those commercials  (http://budlight.whipnet.com/).
Voiceover (singing):  Real Men of Genius!
Announcer:  Today we celebrate you, Mr. Change a Flat Tire on your Wife’s Car without Reading the Directions.
Voiceover (singing):  Mr. Change a Flat Tire on your Wife’s Car without Reading the Directions!
Announcer:  When others chose to set the parking brake and block the back tire, you ask “why bother?”
Voiceover (singing):  Safety precautions are for suckers.
Announcer:  You eagerly begin the task at hand, carelessly disregarding the fact you placed the jack on a patch of sand on the concrete floor, figuring if the car starts to fall, you will have plenty of warning beforehand.
Voiceover:  Watch out!
Announcer:  And when it does, nearly taking a chunk out of your garage floor, you use the jack from your car in an innovative approach to lift the front end on the opposite side, only to succeed in lifting the back tire on the same side.
Voiceover (singing):  Didn’t learn the basics of Physics.
Announcer:  Never a quitter, you use the two jacks on the same side of the car with the flat tire and finally get the spare mounted.   What should have taken you twenty minutes to do, took nearly ninety.  Way to go!
Voiceover (singing):  What a colossal waste of time!
Announcer:  Go ahead, have a Bud Light.  Afterwards, there’s a chore in the house that requires you to be on a step ladder.  We’ll wait.
Voiceover (singing):  Mr. Change a Flat Tire on your Wife’s Car without Reading the Directions.
