Toipc for MEN ONLY!!

Ok guys, got a shirt or something that the button popped off but no women to fix it? I have the ULTIMATE guy way of fixing a button. (works great when your late for a date you want to impress!!!)

First, get a lighter…

Then get a twist tie from the Garbage bag box…

Then, Burn the paper off of it!!!..

Now, you have a peice of STEEL thread sharp enough AND strong enough to poke through the material. It’s a thread AND needle all in one!!!

Now, take your steel thread, and stitch the button back on, careful now, use gentile pressure so you don’t bend it too bad when pushing it through the cloth.

Final step, used a pair of needle nose pliers with a wire cutter option, and twist the steel thread like jioning two wires on a car stereo instalation, and snip off any excess when done. be carful to leave about 3/16 of an inch left over to contain the button. then just smash it flat, and presto!!! button fixed, and no need for a woman!!!

Now your ready for your hot date!!

Just get married, then you can have clean undies too.

Most actions of men can be explained by observing a pack of dogs. Not wild dogs, just neighborhood dogs who all scurry under the fence on the same night and set off together to reclaim a glimmer of the glory their species possessed before domestication.

is it really that hard to get a needle and thread a couple of loops of string through the holes and into the fabric?

“is it really that hard to get a needle and thread a couple of loops of string through the holes and into the fabric?”

No, it’s not hard, it just seems kinda gay.

Thanks for the tip…

Now I can finally move out of mom’s basement and divorce my wife. :smiley:

water dragon, I like your theory about wearing clean underwears…

yeah i guess it seems pretty gay. :frowning:

If playing with sharp, pointy pieces of steel to fix things is gay, I guess I’m one swishy m@#@#$.

Get real, y’all.

Do your Jewish readers have to use “gentile pressure” as well, or are they allowed to use kosher pressure? :wink:


Kosher is fine!!!

Yeah,
I was single for the first time in my life, and had a date for the first time since being married for five years, and just as I was walking out the door, a button poped of my pants.

Now, being the lazy man that I am, I did’nt feel like changing, going to the store for needle and thread (Like I even knew “What” kind of store to go to), going home sewing a button for the first time in my LIFE. Changeing AGAIN, and then going out to meet my date, probually late as all hellll. Please keep in mind I had not done laundry for like two weeks and was wearing the ONLY clean cloths I owned on this perticular night!!!

So I started looking in the kitchen junk drawer (the only thing my ex did’nt take when she left me) for something, ANYTHING to save my sorry asss, and I improvised this solution.

you see gentile men (if that’s what any of us are)
a woman NEEDS needle and thread to fix a button, But a MAN can used the basics; steel, and FIRE!!

I was sitting at my desk putting a button on my camo fatigue work pants with this very method, wile my fiancee was laughing at me when I decided to teach all my secret “man” method of fixing buttons. You see guy my method is STRONGER than the girly sewing method as well, I mean it uses STEEL thread right? The flimsy thin crapp in my mates “Sewing” box can actually be torn by hand!!, But “I” challenge ANYONE to tear a garbage twist tie by hand!!! Even after you burn the paper off it!!!

If you can actually do it, show me and I will worship you!!!

Uhgg, Uhhggg, Grunt Grunt…Me use Fire!!! HHuummmmm… (Use cave man voice)

i dont get the point of the fire… can’t you just tear the paper off it? i mean its just paper. even the plastic kind tears off easily. always falls off when i try to twist my bread closed.

One advantage sewing has is you don’t have tiny knives in the front of your shirt. Those little wires HURT!

fire is cool. That’s all the point we need! :slight_smile:

Actually,

The twist ties I had were covered inplastic, and could not be ripped easily or completely, byt my Zippo made quick work of it. Beside, it’s “Fire”, “Fiiiiirrrrreeeeee”. Can’t argue with that!!!

Oh, by the way

As for the little knife thing, just make sure you put the ends on the button side, facing away from your body, and you’ll never feel they’r there!!

Just for that, you’re no longer allowed to play with fire!!! :rolleyes:

I never realized that sewing a button was considered so difficult. It really isn’t though. I decided to be daring today so I took a needle and thread and sewed a button on to one of my shirts. I wanted to give Mitsy a break anyway. Anyway, it’s really quite simple unless you’re an idiot.

i was wondering where clestial was!!!

good to see you back man.

it’s kind of funny that this is the first thread that i have seen you respond to in a long, long time . . but im not suprised.

for once i agree with you though. if you have a needle and thread sew the damn button on. it’s more manly to do it the right way regardless of how it makes you feel vs. making it more difficult. come on guys .. . we are supposed to be the practical gender.

now if you don’t have any needle and thread .. . which most of us do not .. then it’s a great tip.

where’s my beer?

to be honest though . .. i have about 5 favorate shirts that need buttons sewed back on them that have just kinda lived in my closet for about 3 years.

where’s my beer?
