Many people of all generations who are not guys will sometimes call those of us who are Louie Louie Generation guys "Maturity Challenged." And they're right. But as this podcast explains, it's not our fault. The "Big Louie Institute for Fooling Around and Figuring Most Things Out" released a report recently that explains the whole thing.
The report notes that a guy's brain is swimming in a sea of testosterone, which gives him a deep voice, a beard, and a hand just the right size for using a TV remote. The testosterone in which his brain swims also absorbs some of the shocks of life that sometimes hit him right in the head. Like a baseball, an unexpected blast of Yanni's music, or high levels of verbal communication.
Now please remember, testosterone is a preservative. And what does a preservative do? It keeps meat and stuff from growing old and gnarly. And, of course, growing is another word for maturing. So naturally, a brain swimming in testosterone simply cannot grow and mature. It's not our fault. We're only guys. We do the best we can with what we have to work with.
