Perhaps, but again, I had him at "are you wearing any underpants."

Good kahl.

Kahlua + milk = brown cow.

Kahlua + OJ = tootsie roll.

Granted, it's no Jager, but it'll do for a change of pace.

[...cultural assumptions about identity & sex...]

The "women have to cook" one seems to survive above all the others, though. I know several couples where neither one of them really cooked ever until they got married or shacked up, and then they realized that it was going to suck if they were eating out, takeout and frozen dinners for the rest of their lives. In these cases, it's usually the woman who ends up taking up cooking. Probably because she gets sick of it before the guy does, or maybe because of some male desire to subjugate or female desire to be subjugated or something like that.*

Like someone else said, most of the "guy" things can be hired out without too absurdly much additional cost, but there's no inexpensive way to have somebody do all your grocery shopping for you and hang out to make you something to eat whenever you want it.** Cleaning, laundry and sewing get done by maids, cleaners or tailors a lot, so most of the other "girl" tasks can (and often are) likewise outsourced.

* On a related topic, maybe it's because I've seen my father do this to my mother for 30 years, but I hate it when guys I know expect their wives to get up and get them (or me if I'm over there) a sandwich or a drink like she's a fucking waitress. If we're all watching a movie or having a beer outside, the dude should get me something just as readily as the woman should. I think most of this starts because the woman does it to be nice to the guy and his friends at first, but then it gets taken advantage of, and before long he's bellowing through the house asking her to drop what she's doing and bring him a beer.

** Well, except for the approach described in * above.

Jesus, that shit will grab you by the short hairs.

To Not Bob - Good to see someone picked up the slack for me. I switched to a steady diet of Ketel One and Stoli Crystal last year. My liver still hurts from Fri nite las week. Got a head full of some brain scrambling pills and wound up firing back about 3/5 of a bottle of the Crystal. Didn't realize until I was about five miles into the ride home from a buddy's house the next morning at 9 am that I was in no condition to be operating a vehicle. I also think I cracked a tooth grinding my jawbones into dust. I may switch back to bourbon this weekend. The vodka... that just goes down way too easy.

This one I'm having a hard time imagining. It does not sound pleasant.

Your old man's an ass. Slap him in the lips the next time he tries that shit, and tell that simp of a mother of yours to grow some self respect.

Luckily, in my house, if my old man tried that shit, my mom'd laugh in his face. That patriarchal horseshit gives me the creeps.

That IS a classic. I'm really looking forward to the release, since it's been at least a few years since they were re-run on A&E. I forget the best episodes, but I can't wait for "Subway Fire," "Space News Radio" and "Summer House." These are my made-up titles, not the actual titles.

I was skeptical too, but when I tried it, Kahlua and OJ does indeed taste agreeably like a tootsie roll. However, I think the guy who invented it must have really been down to the dregs, eh?

eta spoiler font, though I don't think this was that much of a spoiler:

"Oh, I never should have never gotten in the elephant"-- Gretchen, after her husband nearly kills hisself pushing a 600 lb elephant, made heavier by another 130 lbs of dead (and annoying) weight. That's right Gretchen, don't help push and make it heavier. And don't even try to get out until after the race, thanks dear.
