    Default Rules of Manhood

    From my email inbox

    ==================================
    RULES OF MANHOOD

    01: Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella

    02: It is ok for a man to cry under the following circumstances:
    a. When a heroic dog dies to save its master.
    b. The moment Angelina Jolie starts unbuttoning her blouse.
    c. After wrecking your boss' car.
    d. One hour, 12 minutes, 37 seconds into "The Crying Game".
    e. When she is using her teeth.

    03: Any Man who brings a camera to a bachelor party may be legally killed
    and eaten by his buddies.

    04: Unless he murdered someone in your family, you must bail a friend out of
    jail within 12 hours.

    05: If you've known a guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits
    forever, unless you actually marry her.

    06: Moaning about the brand of free beer in a buddy's fridge is forbidden.
    However Complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable.

    07: No man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another man.
    In fact, even remembering your buddy's birthday is strictly optional.

    08: On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the
    weakest.

    09: When stumbling upon other guys watching a sporting event, you may ask
    the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's playing.

    10: You may flatulate in front of a woman only after you have brought her to
    climax. If you trap her head under the covers for the purpose of flatulent
    entertainment, she's officially your girlfriend.

    11: It is permissible to drink a fruity alcohol drink only when you're
    sunning on a tropical beach... and it's delivered by a topless
    supermodel..and it's free.

    12: Only in situations of moral and/or physical peril are you allowed to
    kick another guy in the nuts.

    13: Unless you're in prison, never fight naked.

    14: Friends don't let friends wear Speedos. Ever. Issue closed.

    15: If a man's fly is down, that's his problem, you didn't see anything.

    16: Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies
    until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to drink as
    much as the other sports watchers.

    17: A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain
    sober enough to fight.

    18: Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza,
    but not both, that's just greedy.

    19: If you compliment a guy on his six-pack, you'd better be talking about
    his choice of beer.

    20: Never join your girlfriend or wife in discussing a friend of yours,
    except if she's withholding sex pending your response.

    21: Phrases that may NOT be uttered to another man while lifting weights:
    a. Yeah, Baby, Push it!
    b. C'mon, give me one more! Harder!
    c. Another set and we can hit the showers!

    22: Never talk to a man in a bathroom unless you are on equal footing: i.e.
    Both urinating, both waiting in line, etc. For all other situations, an
    almost imperceptible nod is all the conversation you need.

    23: Never allow a telephone conversation with a woman to go on longer than
    you are able to have sex with her. Keep a stopwatch by the phone. Hang up if
    necessary.

    24: The morning after you and a girl who was formerly "just a friend" have
    carnal drunken monkey sex, the fact that you're feeling weird and guilty is
    no reason for you not to nail each other again before the discussion about
    what a big mistake it was occurs.

    25: It is acceptable for you to drive her car. It is not acceptable for her
    to drive yours.

    26: Unless it is a Jeep or a vintage Mopar, Thou shall not buy a car in the
    colors of brown, pink, lime green, orange or sky blue.

    27: The girl who replies to the question "What do you want for Christmas?"
    with "If you loved me, you'd know what I want!" gets an Xbox. End of story.

    28: There is no reason for guys to watch Ice Skating or Men's Gymnastics.

    Stay Calm, Be Alert, Think Clearly, Act Decisively

    Unless it's the boss's sister and you're willing to lose your job for six months until he calls you back again that is.

    So...funny...can't...breath

    13: Unless you're in prison, never fight naked.
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    Yeah, same one. Add: any of his ex's are date-able ONLY with his permission.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    See ... real men ... versus say... macho men? Well, that's just rude - imo. By your sufferable rules any male can be a man. But, does that make him Macho?

    Hey! It ain't the score .. it's the control! LOL

    You can have a handlebar mustache ONLY under the following conditions:

    You are a cop, a firefighter, a trucker, a heavy equipment operator, live in a trailer park, or regularly rise a Harley Davidson that is at least ten years old and you owned it that whole time or it was passed on to you by your Dad who was killed in a knife fight over cocaine in a Mexican border town.

    Any other time is just gay.

    Depends on how you likes your ladies I guess. Here is a pic my sister and I emailed to my younger brother while he was living in Germany last Christmas.

    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
