Sorry about that. I guess I need to put a warning on these sometimes. This list cracked me up and I just had to share.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, I think I am safe with most of these because I can't drink, but I get really pissed off when my buddies don't have the right kind of neer beer!
ReplyDeleteholy crap, that's a lot of rules for my one track man brain.
ReplyDeleteon the other hand, the lovely mrs myshkin has 237 rules for me to follow.
When I was in high school, a friend found a list like this that had about 100 rules on it. Every seventh one was "Lie".
ReplyDeleteWhat if you took the last beer, were sipping it for a few minutes and no one has reached for the last slice of pizza (cause of a great sports play that everyone was paying attention to and talking about)?
ReplyDeleteThere are some nice bits of man-wisdom in that list.
ReplyDeleteNow that my screen has a fine coating of mountain dew...roll over fatty, your next???
ReplyDeletehahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
