    Hi fellas - good topic.

    I couldn't resist putting this on - so many, many apologies in advance to all you lovely ladies.

    Men always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! 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. You can handle it. 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. Let it be.

    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. 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 won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

    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 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 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. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as football or monster trucks.

    1. You have enough clothes.

    1. You have too many shoes.

    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.

    well well boys iff you cant beat them join them.

    I passed my test in america in a big wheeled 4x4 vehicle.
    I used to also succesfully launch and re-launch a power boat and ski-boat and i drove it with skiers behind me and i used to water ski and snow board ski on one foot.
    is that good enough for you and i do reverse my car into spaces outside my house, couldnt get any closer to the pavement.

    no macleaf it certainly did not had a big car with a good tow bar, the only part of the car got wet was the back wheels when reversing down the ramp with the power boat to the back. :D [​IMG]
