You thought this day would never come, but it’s time for all you metrosexual philistines to man up a bit, for it is National Man Day. Huzzah!
What started off as a mere Facebook group has now escalated into a worldwide phenomenon, where men across the globe put down the iron, baby or washing pile and picks up their remote controls, lighters and saws and mans it out like the good old days.
For the whole of the 15th June, wives and girlfriends can only bask in the awesomeness as you scratch yourself watching an episode of the A-Team. All we ask is one day where you get off our backs, do the dishes and get us a beer while we watch Rocky IV in our armchair.
So what could you do to celebrate Man Day? Well, ‘celebrating’ Man Day is already contrary to the code of being a man. Men don’t celebrate, they commend. They partake. Why not build a shed, go work out at the gym or even punch a zebra. You can do that today, for it is Man Day.
There are some rules, though. You can’t just do manly things you would or were going to do anyway, such as take the dog for a walk. Sure you can still do them, but they don’t count. Also, it’s not an excuse to sleep with loads of women. Gloat and say that you have but really, nobody thinks you’re James Bond when wearing a string vest.
So go! Don the leather jacket and get out there and impress the women-folk. Today you get the chance to be a proper man. Don’t waste it.
