Etiquette For Men

Any Man who brings a camera to a stag night may be legally
killed or beaten by his fellow partygoers.

Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella.

It is ok for a man to cry under the following circumstances:

a. When a heroic dog dies to save his 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 his date is using her teeth

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

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

The minimum amount of time you have to wait for a guy whos
running late is 5 minutes. Maximum waiting time is 6 minutes.
For a girl, you have to wait 10 minutes for every point of
hotness she scores on the classic 1-10 scale.

Bitching about the brand of free beer in a friends fridge is
forbidden. Gripe at will if the temperature is unsuitable.

No man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for
another man. In fact, even remembering your buddies birthday is
optional.

When stumbling upon other guys watching a sporting event, you
may always ask the score of the game in progress, but you may
never ask whos playing.

It is permissible to quaff a fruity chick drink only when
youre sunning on a tropical beach… and its delivered by a
topless supermodel… and its free.

Friends dont let friends wear Speedos. Ever. Issue closed.

If a mans zipper is down, thats his problem — you didnt
see nothin.

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 beer as the other sports watchers.

You must offer heartfelt and public condolences over the death
of a girlfriends cat, even if it was you who secretly threw
it into a ceiling fan.

Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of
pizza, but not both. Thats just plain mean.

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

Never allow a 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.

The morning after you and a babe who was formerly just a
friend have had carnal drunken rampant sex, the fact that
youre feeling weird and guilty is no reason not to do it again
before the discussion about what a big mistake it was.

Haba una vez una nia

Había una vez una niña que sólo tenía tres pelos. Un día cuando se iba para el colegio le dijo a su mama: Mamá, mamá hazme una clineja.

La mamá le dice: No puedo porque se te cayó un pelo.

Al otro día:

Mamá, mamá, hazme dos moñitos.

No puedo porque se te cayó un pelo.

Al otro día:

Mamá, mamá, hazme una colita.

No puedo porque se te cayó un pelo.

Y la niña contesta:

¡Entonces déjamelo suelto!

Rednecks Logic

Two rednecks decided that they werent going anywhere in life and thought they should go to college to get ahead. The first goes in to see the counselor, who tells him to take Math, History, and Logic.

Whats Logic? the first redneck asks.



The professor answers by saying, Let me give you an example. Do you own a weedeater?



I sure do. Then I can assume, using logic, that you have a yard, replied the professor.



Thats real good! says the redneck. The professor continues, Logic will also tell me that since you have a yard, you also own a house.



Impressed, the redneck says, Amazin! And since you own a house, logic dictates that you have a wife.



Thats Betty Mae! This is incredible! The redneck is obviously catching on.



Finally, since you have a wife, logically I can assume that you are heterosexual, said the professor.



Youre absolutely right! Why thats the most fascinatin thing I ever heard! I caint wait to take that logic class!!



The redneck, proud of the new world opening up to him, walks back into the hallway, where his friend is still waiting.



So what classes are ya takin? asks the friend. Math, History, and Logic! replies the first redneck.



What in tarnation is logic??? asked his friend. Let me give you an example. Do ya own a weedeater? asked the first redneck.



No, his friend replied.



Fag! Queer!

Busted Doc!

A woman was having a medical problem – her husband snoring.

So she called the doctor one morning, and asked him if there was anything he could do to relieve her suffering.

Well, there is one operation I can perform that will cure your husband, but it is really rather expensive. It will cost $1000 down, and payments of $450 for 24 months, plus payments for extras.

My goodness! the woman exclaimed, sounds like leasing a new sports car!

Humm, the doctor murmured, too obvious, huh?

Thanks for the Subliminals

[Ed: Picked this up from rec.arts.movies, where a discussion of subliminal
ads in movies ensues. ]

I would like to thank all of the folks who emailed me about the subliminal
Pepsi ads in Top Gun. As was pointed out more than once, here and in mail,
the advertisements arent really subliminal if you can perceive them conciously.
<drink Pepsi> I know what subliminal means <drink Pepsi> as opposed to
superliminal, or ultraliminal, or megaliminal, or liminal, or whatever the
correct phraseology is. <you love Pepsi> This kind of advertisement, though,
while not totally invisible <drink Pepsi> is still real hard to see… Ive
seen Top Gun a total of six times now, and never noticed the Pepsi tray until
my sixth time, on cable. After running the tape back thru again, I could tell
that the Pepsi <drink drink drink Pepsi> logo was really there–not just a
red-white-and-blue <Pepsi> smear.

Perhaps we need a new phrase for this half-overt advertising <bathe in Pepsi>.
I propose the term mood-advertising, or perhaps musak-vertising … something
which while there, you have to concentrate to perceive <Pepsi sex>. Once we
put a name to this dread disease, we can set about finding a cure.

Gosh, Im thirsty.
