I recently was advised to read this list of things that a man should never have. After some thought I decided to grade my experience involving each of these don'ts.
No Man Should Ever Have...
1. A black eye - A; I've never had a black eye in my life, but that's not to say I'm a wuss by any means.
2. A witty email signature - A; I list my name, credentials, and contact information like a true pro.
3. An empty refrigerator - B; While it isn't my refrigerator I still have several things of my own in it.
4. PlayStation Thumb - A-; I'm not an avid gamer, but on occasion I'll throw down some boom-shakalas in some NBA Jam.
6. A lucky shirt - A; Don't have one, I do have shirts I like to wear though.
7. An unstamped passport - F; Unfortunately I fail miserably on this one, I've never been outside of the United States.
8. Olympic dreams - A; I gave up on those a long time ago.
9. Less than $20 in his wallet - C; Before reading this list I rarely had cash on me, but it being such a good idea I now always carry at least $10.
12. The need to quote various movies - C-; I am guilty of this frequent lack of judgement. But if it means anything I do come up with some incredible one-liners of my own (see: The Cannys).
13. A futon - A; No problem here, I'm too old to have or sleep on one anymore.
14. Code words for women - A; Again this is just weak, I'm not ever going to find a girlfriend if I use these kind of names.
15. A Nerf hoop in his living room - A-; It specifically says "Nerf hoop," it doesn't say anything about a Nerf Rapid Fire gun.
16. A secret handshake - A; Gave these things up when I graduated from high school.
17. Drinking glasses with logos - F; Again guilty, but this is only because I don't have any of my own glasses yet.
18. A recent story with the phrase "So I said to the cop..." - A; No problem here, I'm a law abiding citizen.

C's: 2 (1 C & 1 C-)
D's: 0
F's: 2
Jeren's Man GPA: 3.167; Not bad a solid B, but I'm going to need to work on this I need at least an B+ average to be a respectable man
