Manly Men

There are some pretty Manly Men out there...

Chuck Norris
Hugh Jackman
Arnold Schwarzenegger

just to name a few.

It's interesting the kind of men we portray and honor in our movies as well. we have characters like Wolverine, Spiderman, Captain Kirk, James Bond, The Godfather, etc...

I would like to point out the kind of hero I most respect.

Bruce Willis in the Die Hard series is pretty darn manly and hardcore, killing terrorists, blowing up buildings, jets, and even destroyed a flying helicopter with a car once! but in the midst of all this my favorite scene of him is in Die Hard 2.

He is waiting for the (very pretty) airport clerk to hand him an important fax when she says, "how about dinner with me, I get off in a half hour". Bruce holds up his wedding band, points it out, and charmingly says, "just the fax babe".

Meanwhile, the Godfather kills for no reason, Kirk has a woman on every planet, and Bond hasn't even seen a girl he hasn't slept with.

Bruce Willis is a man...

****

And now for something (kinda) on the subject that I found funny:

If Bond saw my wife then he would see a woman he hasn't slept with. ;-)

I wish I could remember my wedding vows, I believe in the morality of the words. Now days I wonder if some couples just say the words as a matter of formality. I also wonder if politicians lie to their spouses, like they do to the public.
