A man and his shed.....

We have often heard the age old saying every man needs a shed.... well I'd like to discuss this with you.

I have a shed, a shed full to the brim with power tools, hand tools, a couple mowers and various other implements of a masculine nature. I don't find the shed is a place of relaxation or a stress release it is merely a place to store my tools. I would like a bigger shed so I could set it out better and make it more user friendly but alas this is not going to happen in this life... perhaps in the next.

Why do men need a shed? Is it for when the woman of the house is pissed off so the man has a place of solitude? Or a place of safety? I find no calmness about my shed it is merely a storage facility. Is the shed a symbol of masculinity? The bigger the shed the more virile the man? Ladies perhaps that one should go out to you....

Why can't a lady have a shed? Are there ladies out there with a shed? Can you enlighten me as to what it is about a shed that draws people to need them? I for one would not find a lady with a shed more attractive or less attractive for that matter......

My shed..... I'm spending time in my shed.... to do what? Unless you need to fix something, build something or get something a shed really does not induce ideas of tea and cookies or a beer and pizza............ am I missing something? I just don't get the whole infatuation some people have with a shed...

Please help.....
