Men do not dance. They work, they drink, they have bad backs, they don't dance!
Our interpretation.
The speaker emphatically insists that men only work, drink and nurse sore backs, and never dance, stating a stereotype with comic force.

Think about John Wayne, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold doesn't dance, he can hardly walk!
