thought of the day 2009 07 27 - life lessons

There are certain lessons that a father needs to teach to his son. How to tie a tie. How to ride a bike. How to drive stick. How to perfectly cook a steak. These are necessary life lessons passed from father to son.

Now you may ask, in this modern day and age, why someone would need to learn to drive a manual transmission. Zombies. When the zombies take over you think you're going to be able to get by on automatic? No way. All the mechanics are going to be zombies. They're not going to help you. They're going to try to eat your brain. And when you need to drive that oil tanker into the building full of the undead like something out of a Michael Bay flick, you think that's going to have an automatic transmission in it? Hell no, you need to learn to drive stick and you need to pass that skill onto your children because if you don't, the zombies win.
