We always hear the rules from the female side.
These 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 solving 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're 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. Christopher 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's 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,
Sports, or
Cars

1. You have enough clothes

1. You have too many shoes

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

1 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.

I liked the one about the toilet seat.

But considering how many of the rules dealt with TV and sports, things I have no interest in, I now wonder if i can be considered a man?

You have to give it to him...this was incredibly funny. :D

Thnx for that.

(though I must agree on the criticism of number one...erhm....the Cristopher columbus part. He pretty much messed up. But thank God he did)

Well... that depends on your perspective.

As a genetic member of one of the races that was destroyed by this particular discovery... errr, maybe not so thankful, am I.

Personally, if I had been there... I would have been the guy on the beach yelling "Don't let those white people get off that boat!"

Have you noticed the line in my sig?

"If I could go back in time, and change just one thing, I would put a big neon sign up in the Bahamas that says, "WRONG WAY TO CALCUTTA!"

Ok, I honestly didn't want to offend anyone. I hope you understand how I meant it. Of course there's no excuse for the horrible things that the Spanish, British and all other settlers did to the native populations of the Americas.

I have seen that a million times, and I absolutely love it!
Thanks for posting it.. I'd forgotten all about that.

LOL.

My favorite one, and it has been since the first time I saw this list, is:
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

LMFAO!!! I love it! lol.

Thanks again. :) :kiss:

and none taken, Snoop, at least on my part. :) People forget really easily that Columbus didn't "discover" anything. ;)

When people extoll the virtues of Mt. Rushmore, I grit my teeth, but there's not a damn thing we can do about something that happened 400 years ago. You're cool. :)

But after 1780 or so they were Americans...
 
cloudy said:
That also depends on perspective. ;)

I doubt the "Injuns" (let's leave precise names out of it - the people living there before Columbus came) called themselves Amerikaaner anyway.

Was jus' pointin' out that most of the "resettlement" after 1780 was carried out by people who more or less called themselves US citizens.
