Favorite Male Inventions

I have been thinking a lot lately about how easy our lives are as Americans. Particularly, as a man, I have thought about some inventions or creations that have made my life "better":

Global Positioning Systems (GPS) - Sounds very "007" like, and I have to admit, I am in awe of this technology. As a man, I no longer have to ask for directions and lose my dignity. Technology allows me to continue to pretend to know exactly where I am going and actually find my destination! It is interesting, however, that the voice set as the default in a GPS system is female...

Pre-cooked bacon - This is the man's equivalent of chocolate. Just pop it in the microwave for 15 seconds and out comes a fattening, flavorful treat...

Flat Screen TV's - What other invention allows you to watch a football game framed on a wall and call it art...

McRib Sandwich - Forget the lattes,cappuccinos,espressos,macchiatos and mochas (I had to look up how to spell some of these and I don't even know what some of them are!). Nothing like a good slab of fat combined with BBQ sauce and raw onions to stimulate the salivary glands! McDonald's has probably extended my life expectancy by only offering them once a year...

Super Big Gulp - Seven Eleven stores now have a 44 ounce beverage that,without ice, holds 64 ounces. GM and Ford are going to have to design larger cup holders in future models! Don't get me wrong, I am not about excess. Exercise and moderation are important for a healthy lifestyle. I fill my Big Gulp's with Diet Pepsi...

3-in-1 Shampoo, Body Wash and Conditioner - I knew this day was coming and this invention will likely never be used by women,but to have one set of synthetic ingredients that I can use in the shower is like manna from heaven. One bottle that does it all makes personal hygiene a breeze...

So what inventions have made your life easier? I would love to hear from you...
