The Man Rules

The “Man Rules”…

Good morning my fellow Rotarians.  You know they say that sometimes laughter is the best medicine so I thought I share a story that some recently sent me about a preacher from Kentucky.

One of the men in our church decided to write down some of rules that guys want their wives to know; he called them the ‘Top 14 Man Rules.’ 

1. Men are NOT mind readers.
2.  Football on the weekends; it’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides.  Let it be.
3. Shopping is NOT a sport.  And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
4. Crying is blackmail.
5. 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!
6. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
7. 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.
8. Whenever possible, Please say WHATEVER you have to say during commercials.
9. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
10. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.
11. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really.
12. I am in shape.  Round IS a shape!
13. If you think you're fat, you probably are.   Don't ask us.
14. Thank you for reading this.  Yes, I know I have to sleep on the couch tonight; did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

 There you have it, the ‘Man Rules.’ So, should I find the Women’s rules as well?  And that’s the Bottom of our News on this Friday, September 7, 2012.
