A Gentleman Is MacGyver-ish

July 23rd, 2009

A gentleman is well known to be an extremely resourceful individual, one who constantly balances creativity with deft scientific know-how to face any challenge that may confront him.  Whether he’s fashioning weapons out of office supplies during conference calls, cobbling together quick hydraulic smoking apparatuses on lunch breaks, popping the governor off his rented Mexican moped for reckless speed or fermenting secret hooch in the commode of his spacious jail cell, an ever-clever gentleman can be counted upon to wield brain over brawn in desperate, often dangerous, situations. Thus is the reason everyone from global spy agencies to local janitor unions to professional puzzle solvers all vie to employ the gentleman, hoping to learn from his wise wisdom and profit from his intuitive talents.

A series of texts on the way to the airport:

Gentsetter: Dude, WTF happened last night? Did I pass out before you took off?
MacGyverish: You started to so I bounced. We had poured shots of scotch but then didn’t want them so it was basically a bust. But we did barge into Dave’s room and make a scene.
Gentsetter: Wow. Don’t remember going to Dave’s room. My head feels fuzzy today.
MacGyverish: Yeah me too. I’m going to MacGyver a bloody mary in the airport lounge.
Gentsetter: A little soy sauce and the spicy stuff for soup are the key additions.
MacGyverish: That’s a good tip. Never would have thought of the soy sauce.
Gentsetter: Asian worstershire
MacGyverish: That’s my porn name, ironically
MacGyverish: PS, there’s a MILF in stretch pants on my flight.
Gentsetter: Mile high club
