National Man Day


SO me and some friends at work were talking at lunch and somehow we got on the topic of how everyone has a day and how we should have a day. We came up with "National Man Day" after quite a few other and less ingenious names were tossed out. Not only did we come up with a name but we actually came up with an idea of how we are going to do something on this day every year but we are yet to come up with the date. Now on our last break we came up with a set of rules for this day and we wrote them on a napkin. The rules go as follows:

Participants are required to go to a bar at opening (11:00 am) and stay til closing (1:00 am).

Rule #1: The men are required to wear dress pants and a tie except for 5:00 pm which is dedicated to Aloha shirts and fruity drinks.

Rule #2: The first hour of the day is for donuts, irish coffee and catching up on current events.

Rule #3: At 4:00 there will be an optional round of calisthenics.

Rule #4: The "Man Day" players can't buy any hard liquor until 9:00 pm but they can't turn down a shot if offered.

Rule #5: Cell phones are only allowed the last 5 min. of every hour.

Rule #6: Anyone who pukes has to buy a pitcher of beer.

Rule #7: Anyone late for the 7:15 dinner call has to buy two pitchers of beer.

Rule #8: The more the merrier.

Once a date is set I will let you all know....feel free to participate in "National Man Day" at home and mark it on your calendar for an annual event!

Stupid. Sounds more like Personal Drunken Idiot Day, not any sort of day I would be proud of.

Forced drinking? Rules about puking? Grow up, Frat Boy.

The Man Rules
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down

Finally, the guys' side of the story.
( I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We 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. Men are NOT mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down..
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
or the changing of the tides.
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 think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us.

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 colors,

like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color.

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. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely

anything you wear is fine....Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless

you are prepared to discuss such topics

as baseball or motor sports.


1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. 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.
