We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are our rules:
1 Please note... these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!
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 Captain Cook did not need directions and neither do we.
1 ALL men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. 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 probably 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, sport, cars or politics.
1 You have enough clothes.
1 You have too many shoes.
1 I am in shape. Round is a shape.
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.
Trata las situaciones estresantes como lo haría 1 perro: si no puedes comértelo o jugar con ello, méate encima y lárgate!!!
Handle stressful situations as a dog would: if you can't eat it or play with it, pee on it and get out of there!!!
1. HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHOM TO MARRY?
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
-- Alan, age 10
- No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.
-- Kristen, age 10
2. WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then..
-- Camille, age 10
3. HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
-- Derrick, age 8
4. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don't want any more kids.
-- Lori, age 8
5. WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
-Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
-- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)
-On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
-- Martin, age 10
6. WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
-When they're rich.
-- Pam, age 7 ( Love her )
-The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
- - Curt, age 7
-The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
- - Howard, age 8
7. IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
-- Anita, age 9 (bless you child )
8. HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
-- Kelvin, age 8
And the #1 Favorite is .......
9. HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a dump truck.
-- Ricky, age 10

So there was I having a chat with Graham last week. telling me about his latest holiday in the canary Islands. After a while he said he got sick of lying around the pool and following the Mrs about the shops so he decided to do some library work and scientific research of his own.
He came back home and said confidently "there are no carary's on the canary islands".
He is seemingly looking forward to his visit to the virgin islands next year.

Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica — where do they go?
Wonder no more ! ! !
It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life. The penguin is very committed to its family and will mate for life, as well as maintain a form of compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life.
If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of its family and social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into, and buried.
The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and one by one, they begin to emit a unique sound — a haunting bird-song that sounds like this:
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“Freeze a jolly good fellow.”
“Freeze a jolly good fellow.”
Then, they kick him in the ice hole . . .
You didn’t really believe that I know anything about penguins, did you?
“You cannot play God then wash your hands of the things that you've created. Sooner or later, the day comes when you can't hide from the things that you've done anymore.”
I saw a great t shirt that had a mother and young daughter on it...
Daughter: Mommy, does Barbie come with Ken?
Mother: No, sweetheart, she comes with G.I. Joe., she only fakes it with Ken.
