Rule #1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If its up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
Rule #1. Sunday sports: Its like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
Rule #1. Shopping is not a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
Rule #1. Crying is blackmail.
Rule #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!
Rule #1. Yes and no are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
Rule #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.
Rule #1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
Rule #1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments becume null and void after 7 days.
Rule #1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.
Rule #1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
Rule #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.
Rule #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.
Rule #1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
Rule #1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.
Rule #1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what a mauve is.
Rule #1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
Rule #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.
Rule #1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
Rule #1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...Really.
Rule #1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.
Rule #1. You have enough clothes.
Rule #1. You have too many shoes.
Rule #1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.
Rule #1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; but did you know men don't really mind that? Its like camping.

A mild-mannered man was tired of being bossed around by his wife. He went to a psychiatrist to discuss the problem.
The psychiatrist said he needed to build his self-esteem and gave him a book on assertiveness. After finishing the book, the man went home, stormed into the house and walked up to his wife. Pointing a finger in her face, he said, "From now on, I want you to know that *I* am the man of this house, and my word is law! I want you to prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I'm finished eating my dinner, I expect a sumptuous dessert. Then, after dinner, you're going to draw me my bath so I can relax. And when I'm finished with my bath, guess who's going to dress me and comb my hair?
"The funeral director," his wife answered.
