Man Laws

From time to time on this forum there are questions about manlyhoodism. I think it's time we established a few rules, Man Laws if you will. (Women can add to Man Laws under certain circumstances and only if we approve them. )

A Man Law is a law that all men must adhere to. It's a Man Law. I'll start with a few I have been think ing about. Not in any order.

1. It is against the man law to complain about free beer. Just shut up and enjoy it. Unless you bought really good beer the last time, then you can complain once. The guy who bought the beer may be under severe budget constraints.

2. Never criticize a man's truck. (Unless it is a Ford or Chevy) A truck is an expression of a man's identity. The only time you can complain about another man's truck is if he offers you a ride and there are too many empty food bags on the floor to get it. Then you can complain, but only while moving them.

3. Conversations about pink Speedos (and other unmentionables) needs to be limited to "need to know" information only. Discussions of undergarments are highly discouraged as manlymen don't talk about boxers or briefs.

Manlaw #467 - The tallest man always rides shotgun.

Manlaw #468 - You are not to sit in the rocking chair next to the grill. That is the cook's (owner's) spot.

I had to get #468 out there as it is abused with regularity. I get tired of telling people to get out of my chair. I ain't got much and that chair IS on the list (short).

Depends on what the MLTC (Man Law Tribal Counsel) says. We'll give you special consideration though.

Definately good man laws. We are turning back the days of PC crapola and re-establishing men as the strong provider of the tribe. (If that's okay with everyone )

Manlaw #469 - when invited to a cook out, always bring beer. You can eat for free, but you better bring drinks.

#232. Men are to drive whenever the couple is going in the same vehicle. Unless of course the man is inebriated (drunk) or broke his leg. If a woman is driving the men other men (driving by) may not stare at him as if he is a freak sideshow, but may glance as if he is whipped by his wife or girl friend. Chuckling is allowed to show the wimp the error of his ways.

#231. Under NO circumstances is it okay for a man to date his brother's, room mate, best friends, x girlfriend. If I need to explain you are not a man.

Here is a Man Law Tribal Counsel makeing local man laws.

I take issue with #2! If you need a ride bad enuff to make me push the wrappers out of the way, you aren't in a position to be complaining. Kaley doesn't complain... she's just happy to ride along...

As I read #2, they can complain only if 1) you offer them a ride and there are too many wrappers to let them get in and 2) they have to move them. If either 1) they ask for a ride or 2) you move the wrappers for them; they can't complain.

Personally, I think that #3 needs to be expanded to include pedicures, waxing, etc.

BTW, what happened to #4-#231 and #233-#466? I missed them someplace.

When I go to lunch with my boss, I end up having to clear the passenger seat. I usually just toss everything towards teh back seat and kick a few bags out the door.

I have a man law I would like to introduce on behalf of women everywhere. Listen up men....

Manlaw #221, Toilets are for sitting, and urinals are for standing. The lid and seat come up to clean the toilet not for you to stand there and pee. You make a mess everywhere. Put the seat down and SIT! Take a freaken load off and sit when you relieve yourself. Pee goes everywhere when you stand! Unless you are under 4'9" tall SIT DOWN! There are exceptions, but dang few.... and oh yea.... clean up after yourselves. We are manlymen not pigs.

See CIN.... just cause we are making man laws doesn't mean we can't incorporate laws that women can like.

Good question! We have to organize the man laws into catigories, and leave room for others. You can have block 11-20. More if you need it.

I don't think the man council is going to approve that law
