Look, I know you appreciate that I have fixed your car. Or your watch. Or put a new bulb in your light fixture, or broken into your desk drawer when you locked your purse AND keys in there again. Or any of the other half million things I do for any of the misandrist dipwads I know.

Please, God, do not cook anythng for me. I’m confident your grandmother’s recipe for kringligkflahnorkflokie is the bomb in the Old Country, but I do not recognize it as food, it smells like something I dug out of my navel after an all night session of horizontal mambo with a pakistani gymnast, and it has stained the tupperware container irretrievably. Your thanks is really, really all I need, and even that is better at a distance, I guarantee. Bake cookies if you must, and don’t be offended if I share them with my co workers, but no secret cantonese-swedish fusion recipes, no hungarian goulash made from fresh marmoset sinuses, nothing.

If you’re desperate to thank me somehow, a simple handjob will suffice. Or show me your tits. Or not so much.
