It feels like a Friday so I'm sticking this up here.


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 stag night may be legally killed
and eaten by his mates.

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 bloke 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 mate's fridge is
forbidden. 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 mate's birthday is
strictly
optional.

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

09: When stumbling upon other blokes 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 quaff a fruity alcopop 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 bloke 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 (can explain
offside or LBW) 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 mean.

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

20: Never join your girlfriend or wife in discussing a mate of yours,
except if she's withholding s*x 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 s*x 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 s*x, the fact that you're feeling weird
and
guilty is no reason not to nail her again before the discussion about
what a big mistake it was.

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

26: Thou shalt not buy a car in the colours 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 Mens
Gymnastics. Ever!

I disagree with that point, the worst feeling in the world on away trips is holding in a ****, can bring a tear to a grown mans eye.

1, OPENING JARS - nnng, she's struggling. You take it from her hands,
> open it effortlessly and pretend she loosened it for you. She didn't.
> Jars are men's work.
>
> 2, CALLING SOMEONE 'SON' - Especially policeman but even saying it to
> kids makes you the man.
>
> 3, DOING A PROPER SLIDE TACKLE - Beckham free kicks? Gay. A Stuart
> Pearce tackle is the pinnacle of the game, simultaneously winning the
> ball and crippling the man. Magic.
>
> 4, SHARPENING A PENCIL WITH A STANLEY KNIFE - Blunt, is it? Hand it
> here love. No, I don't need a sharpener, you think I can't whittle.
>
> 5, GOING TO THE TIP - A manly act which combines driving, lifting and
> - as you thrillingly drop your rubbish into another huge pile of other
> rubbish - noisy destruction = man.
>
> 6, DRINKING UP - Specifically, rising from the table, slinging your
> coat on and downing two thirds of a pint in one fluid movement. Then
> nodding towards the door, saying, "Let's go" and striding out while
> everyone else struggles to catch up with you. God, you're hard.
>
> 7, HAVING A THIN BIT OF WOOD - in the shed, solely to stir paint with.
>
> 8, HAVING A SCAR - Ideally it'll be a facial knife wound, but even an
> iron burn on the wrist is good. "Ooh, did it hurt". "Nah".
>
> 9, HAVING A HANGOVER AND THICK STUBBLE - When birds have been partying
> they just whinge. You, on the other hand have physical evidence of
> your hardness,sprouting from your face. "Big night?" Grrrrr, what does
> it look like.
>
> 10, NODDING AT COPPERS - A moments eye contact is all it takes for you
> to share the unspoken bond. "We've not seen eye to eye in the past",
> it says "but someone's got to keep the little scrotes in line".
>
> 11, USING POWER TOOLS - slightly more powerful than you need or can
> safely handle. Pneumatic drilling while smoking a fag? Superb.
>
> 12, KICKING A FOOTY AGAINST A GARAGE DOOR - Clang-g-g-g-g-g-! Stitch
> that Becks, I kick so hard I set off car alarms.
>
> 13, ARRIVING IN A PUB LATE... and everyone cheers you. It doesn't mean
> you're popular, it just means your mates are p*ssed. However, the rest
> of the pub doesn't know that.
>
> 14, NOT WATCHING YOUR WEIGHT - fat is a feminist issue, apparently.
> Brilliant. Pass the pork scratchings.
>
> 15, CARVING THE ROAST - and saying "are you a leg or breast man" to
> the blokes and "do you want stuffing" to the women. Congratulations,
> you are now your dad.
>
> 16, WINKING - turns women to putty. Doesn't it?
>
> 17, TEST SWINGING HAMMERS - ideally, B&Q would have little changing
> rooms with mirrors so you could see how rugged you look with any DIY
> item. Until then, we'll make do with the aisles.
>
> 18, TAKING OUT £200 FROM A CASHPOINT - okay, so its for paying the
> plumber later but with that much cash you feel like a mafia don. The
> only thing better is peeling notes off the roll later.
>
> 19, PHONE CALLS THAT LAST LESS THAN A MINUTE - unlike birds, we get
> straight to the point. "alright? Yep. Drink? Red Lion? George, it is
> then. Seven. See ya."
>
> 20, PARALLEL PARKING - bosh, straight in. first time. Can Schumacher
> do that? No, because his cars got no reverse gear which, technically,
> makes you the worlds best driver.
>
> 21, HAVING EARNED THAT PINT - Since the dawn of time, men have toiled
> in the fields in blistering heat. Why? So, when it's over we can stand
> there in silence, surveying our work with one hand resting on the beer
> gut while the other nurses a foaming jug of ale. Aaaah.
>
> 22, HAVING SOMETHING PROPERLY WRONG WITH YOU - especially if you
> didn't make a fuss. "Why was I off, nothing much, just a brain
> haemorrhage".
>
> 23, KNOWING WHICH SCREWDRIVER IS WHICH - "a Phillips? For that? Are
> you mad, bint?"
>
> 24, TAKING A NEWSPAPER INTO THE LOO - a visual code that says that's
> right, I'm going in there for a huge, long man-sized dump

Can this be adopted as the main, unbreakable rule for Ian's roadtrips next year?
PLEASE?
