Here are the "REAL RULES" of my house....
« on: October 10, 2004, 04:34:58 am »
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. 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 after7 days.
 
  1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls,
  don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.
 
  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 baseball, the shotgun formation,
  or monster trucks.
 
  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.


Yeah thats right, there all the #1 rule.. ;)

Seeing as how I'm out #"ed in my house, I've had to post these on the Frig....

Not bad, been married since 1975 and I still have to explain some of these things...like last night on the way to church, she asked me an opinion question, I said "Do you really want my opinion?", she said yes, so I gave it too her.  Fortunately she's very forgiving.  But the discussion was lively.

Take care,

Mike

Does that mean you have to re-write the list from memory every week?

I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'

Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.

Lol, I love that one. Next time that happens, I think I'll quote that. :D

I might have to say something along the lines of, back in the 17th century, Shakespeare said... otherwise they'll dismiss it. :D Always works for some reason when the quote is from years ago. :P

That's if Shakespeare was in the 17th century. :S
