The Man Rules

The Man Rules
We finally have taken the time to write this all down

We always hear " the rules " 
From the female side.  

  Now here are the rules from the male side.     


These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered "1 " 
ON PURPOSE!  

1.   Men are NOT mind readers. 

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

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 i f you want help solving it. That's what we do.      Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.


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 nothings 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 baseball 
or golf.

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, we know, we have to sleep on the couch tonight; 
But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

There’s a couple good laughs in there, especially #1

Hehehehehehe … that is such a copout! Looks to me like a typical case of short and selective memory. The way to do it is: Remember verbatim what she said, what she was wearing that day and exactly where you were when she said it.

You have no idea how that will improve communications.

Good stuff! I printed it out and taped it to the refridgerator.

Looks like I’m gonna be “camping” tonight…:wink:

Just remember one thing.

“If mommas not happy, no one is happy”

“Happy momma = more trains”

HeHeHe. Steve you have way to much time on your hands. Go out and start removing the snow from your layout, it will keep you busy.

Chuck,

Looks like Steve is still trying to generate a bit of “heat” in order to melt the snow. :wink: :slight_smile:

BTW most of the snow is gone (at least in the valley), and the ice is melting on the ponds. :confused:

I checked the layout today. The “steam-up” table is clear of snow and ice, but I can only see the top third of the tallest trees on the layout. None of the buildings have broken through the snow, yet.

Let’s have a little global warming, here!
