Reasons Why it's Great to be a Man

Most of the time we address fairly serious topics on this blog--stuff dealing with faith, career and family. Even politics. But once in a while we just want to have some fun. Here’s a list of "reasons why it’s great to be a man," taken from a book I read recently. The list brought a smile to my face. I think it will do the same for you. Drum roll please:
