The Guys' Rules

[Bob The Mercenary]

Yeah, this was mass emailed to me. I just thought I would share it to counter the women's rules posted a few months ago.


1. Men ARE NOT mind readers.

2. 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.

3. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.

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

5. Crying is blackmail.

6. 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!

7. Yes and No are perfectly Acceptable answers to almost every question.

8. Come to us with a problem only If you want help solving it. That's what
we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

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

10. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

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

12. 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.

13. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during
commercials.

14. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

15. 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.

16. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like
nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the
hassle.

17. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

18. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear Is
fine...Really.

19. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to
discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or golf.

20. You have enough clothes.

21. You have too many shoes.

22. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

23. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;
