Holy Blisters, Batman!

Yeah, it is true. I have blisters. Replacement running shoes are also out to pasture and brand new expert running shoes have been purchased. Only problem is blisters are so bad from replacement running shoes there has been no training for last three days (silent cheer!)...so that must mean we get to talk about other goings on.
I will not talk about the crazy weekend that was (and guest appearance by everyone's favourite Prince) but instead I want to go "into the cave".
Men know of the cave - as they are frequent visitors - and woman know of the cave because we have to wait patiently for our men to come out.
First official recordings of the cave were not in prehistoric cave men times as might be presumed (as woman lived in these caves as well - hence why men had to hit their woman over the head - as they never had any "quiet time"). No, first official "man cave time" can be found in the Bible, where Jesus had to go to the cave for three days. His resurrection was a miracle for many reasons, one of which was he was a changed man.
Woman started putting their own men in caves for three days to see if maybe the miracle could be repeated and their men could also change and low and behold it seemed to work. Women got answers and men got a much needed break. It truly was a miracle that has kept relationships in tact for years to come.
The formula is the same in present day, except men go willingly to their cave (and in fact seem to like it more than our company half of the time) but no matter, it is now part of our world - like walking.
Sure when our men go to the cave it can be frustrating and we need answers (now!) but rest assured our men will always emerge and even with answers - it is a miracle!
In modern day, the cave has changed slightly and so instead of waiting three days we may have to wait months, even years, to get an answer (and they wonder why woman invented stalking!) The reason for the change in processing time is because the "cave" men go to is actually the Bat Cave - where Batman also goes to process and come out the other side a new man. This would explain why men need to keep going back to the cave on a regular basis, even if it is to answer a simple question like, "Would you like toast or cereal for breakfast?"
With all of those Bat Toys to play with and look at it, is no wonder the cave is a great place to be. It is also no wonder that men can spend months in there, we think they are processing when in fact they are playing with Batarangs, Bat Bombs and the Bat Goo Gun.
Ladies just leave them in there and let them play. It is the only time they get to be a super hero and let's not ruin their fun.
Didn't you always want to go and learn the tango in Argentina? (And alone is the only way to do that.) Quick. Run. Fly. Dance. You have plenty of time. The Bat mobile will keep him amused while you are looking into the eyes of your Latin dance instructor.
That way we won't seem to mind them being in the cave and we know they always come out better men and with the answers to the tough questions.
"Toast will be fine."

(Note to self: Find Poison Ivy outfit and wear next time man is in the cave. Batarangs are no match for Poison Ivy.)
