Trying something new

Is this right?
No, move it a little to the left.
To the left?
That’s right.
You want me to move to the right?
No, the left.
Why did you say to the right?
Can you please just move it to the left?!
Ok, how’s this?
Ohhh, that’s so much better.
Really?
Oh, yes, it really works well just right there.
Great, now just help me pound this in.
Are you sure you want to do that?
Yea, why not?
Well, shouldn’t you look at the diagram?
No, I don’t need to. If I push hard enough it will go in.
I don’t think it’s working.
Yes it is. Just give it a little time.
No, it’s not. I really think you need to look at the diagram.
Look, I’m a guy. I don’t need no stinking diagram to tell me what to do. We just know what to do, it’s like we’re born with it.
I’m telling you it’s not working.
This is a little hard.
See, I told you. Would you please just look at the diagram? At the rate you’re going, we’re both going to get hurt.
Ok, ok, I’ll look at the diagram if it makes you feel better.
Well, it does.
Well, what do you know? I was supposed to put this here, not there.
See, I told you.
You’re always right.
I know. The sooner you learn it, the happier we’ll all be.
Look, it popped right in, just like it was made too. I’ll be dammed.
See, isn’t it so much better now?
Oh, it’s really working well now.
Are you almost done?
Don’t rush me, it’s taken this long to get it right.
It’s not like we have all day, you know.
Just one more tap and I'll be done.
Thank god. I thought you were going to wake the kids.
Well, it’s not like I get to do this that often, you know? And this would go a lot faster if you helped out a little bit. It’s not like I always have to do all the work, you know.
Whatever. Stop your whining. You got what you wanted, didn’t you?
I guess so.

And with that, we finished hanging the new plasma TV in the basement.

What? What did you think that was about? Oh, you dirty little pervert. Get your mind out of the gutter. Don’t get me wrong, I like the way you’re thinking, but…..
