Men's Rules.

Nice day, so I raked up five barrow loads of Autumn leaves.

They look lovely on the trees, but not so great all over my

lawns, paths and garden. All tidy again, SO I expect either

a wind storm or rain. I am not usually a pessimist, but my

back really complains with this sort of work.

I received this today in an E-mail and I predict that the menfolk will enjoy it. Thanks Jan.

<><><> Men’s Rules. <><><>

We always hear “the rules” from the female side.

Now here are “the rules” from the male side.

Please note these are all numbered “1” on purpose’

<><><>

1. Breasts are for looking at and that is why we do it. Don’t try to change that.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl. If it’s up put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don’t hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Saturday = Sports. It’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one. Subtle hints do not work ! Strong hints do not work ! Obvious hints do not work ! JUST SAY IT.

1. “Yes” and “No” are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help to solve it. That’s what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1. If you think you are fat, you probably are. Don’t ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of,the ways makes you sad or angry. We meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done, NOT BOTH. If you already know best how to do it just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christophe Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.

1. All men see in only 16 colors like Windows default settings. Peach for example is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say “nothing”, we will act like nothing is wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don’t want an answer to, expect an answer you don’t want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.

1. Don’t ask us what we’re thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as :

_ Sex

_ Sport or

_ Cars.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape ~ Round is a shape.

Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know men really don’t mind that. It’s like camping.

Pass this to as many men as you can to give them a laugh.

Pass this to as many women as you can to give them an

education.

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.

When asked to define great, he said: “ I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger !”

He now works for Microsoft writing error messages.
