1.) It is ok for a Man to cry under the following circumstances:

- When a heroic dog dies to save its master.
- The moment Angelina Jolie starts unbuttoning her blouse.
- After wrecking your boss' car.
- One hour, 12 minutes, 37 seconds into "The Crying Game".
- When she is using her teeth.


2.) Any Man who brings a camera to a bachelor party may be legally killed and
eaten by his friends.


3.) Unless he murdered someone in your family, you must bail a friend out of
jail within 12 hours.


4.) If you've known a Man for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits
forever, unless you actually marry her.


5.) Moaning about the brand of free beer in a friend's fridge is forbidden.
Complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable.


6.) No Man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another Man. In
fact, even remembering your friend's birthday is strictly optional.


7.) On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the
weakest.


8.) When stumbling upon other men watching a sporting event, you may ask the
score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's playing.


9.) It is permissible to drink a fruity alcopop drink only when you're sunning
on a tropical beach... and it's delivered by a topless supermodel...and it's
free.


10.) Only in situations of moral and/or physical peril are you allowed to kick
another Man in the nuts.


11.) Unless you're in prison, never fight naked.


12.) Friends don't let friends wear Speedos. Ever. Issue closed.


13.) If a Man's fly is down, that's his problem, you didn't see anything.


14.) Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies until
they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to drink as much as the
other sports watchers.


15.) A Man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain
sober enough to fight.


16.) Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but
not both - that's just mean.


17.) If you compliment a Man on his six-pack, you'd better be talking about his
choice of beer.


18.) Never join your girlfriend or wife in discussing a friend of yours, except
if she's withholding sex pending your response.


19.) Phrases that may NOT be uttered to another Man while lifting weights:

- Yeah, Baby, Push it!
- C'mon, give me one more! Harder!
- Another set and we can hit the showers!


20.) Never talk to a Man in a bathroom unless you are on equal footing: i.e.
Both urinating, both waiting in line, etc. For all other situations, an almost
imperceptible nod is all the conversation you need.


21.) Never allow a telephone conversation with a woman to go on longer than you
are able to have sex with her. Keep a stopwatch by the phone. Hang up if
necessary.


22.) The morning after you and a girl who was formerly "just a friend" have
carnal drunken monkey sex, the fact that you're feeling weird and guilty is no
reason not to nail her again before the discussion about what a big mistake it
was.


23.) There is no reason for guys to watch Men's Ice Skating or Men's
Gymnastics. Ever.


24.) When you are queried by a buddy's wife, girlfriend, mother, father,
priest, shrink, dentist, accountant, or dog walker, you need not and should not
provide any useful information whatsoever as to his whereabouts. You are
permitted to deny his very existence.


25.) You may exaggerate any anecdote told in a bar by 50 percent without
recrimination; beyond that, anyone within earshot is allowed to call
'BULLSHIT!'.
Exception: When trying to pick up a girl, the allowable exaggeration rate rises
to 400 percent.


26.) The minimum amount of time you have to wait for another guy who's running
late is 5 minutes. For a girl, you are required to wait 10 minutes for every
point of hotness she scores on the classic 1-10 babe scale.


27.) Agreeing to distract the ugly friend of a hot babe that your buddy is
trying to hook up with is your legal duty. Should you get carried away with
your good deed and end up having sex with the beast, your pal is forbidden to
speak of it, even at your bachelor party.


28.) Before dating a buddy's "ex", you are required to ask his permission and
he in return is required to grant it.


29.) The universal compensation for buddies who help you move is beer.


30.) A Man must never own a cat or like his girlfriend's cat.


31.) When your girlfriend/wife expresses a desire to fix her whiney friend up
with your pal, you may give her the go-ahead only if you'll be able to warn
your buddy and give him time to prepare excuses about joining the priesthood.


32.) If a buddy is out-numbered, out-Manned, or too drunk to fight, you must
jump into the fight.
Exception: If within the last 24 hours his actions have caused you to think,
"What this guy needs is a good ass-whoopin.", then you may sit back and enjoy.


33.) If a buddy is already singing along to a song in the car, you may not join
him...too gay.


34.) Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella.


35.) When a buddy is trying to hook up, you may sabotage him only in a manner
that gives you no chance of hooking up either.


36.) Before allowing a drunken friend to cheat on his girl, you must attempt
one intervention. If he is able to get on his feet, look you in the eye, and
deliver a "FUCK OFF!" You are absolved of your of responsibility.


37.) Never, EVER slap or smack another Man.

Skipped a good portion of the middle, but I'd have to disagree with 33 and 37.

Counterpoints:

33) What if there are 3 or more of you in the car on a long road trip and it's male bonding at work?

37) Basketball, baseball, or football games?

Edit: Read the whole thing, thought it was pretty funny. I have a feeling the repost police will be onto it soon though, because there's no way something like this is brand new.

Absolutely true to the last detail...

I've pulled the man/friend card on account of this one before...

wtf does basketball, baseball, or football have to do with smacking/slapping a guy?

"Tom who? I swear, I've never heard of the guy! ... what? we've been best friends since 3rd grade? No, no, doesn't ring a bell"

Well one in my group of friends, began screwing someone's (recent)ex without telling any of us. We yanked his man card, and he is now an outcast.

1) It is ok if the dog dies, that's it.
3) I disagree with just because even friends need to learn lessons.
13) Help a brotha' out!
15) Many men fight better drunk :)
31) Don't let it happen in the first place...warn your friend to RUN! ALWAYS!

I either don't agree with most things on the list, or can't identify with them. I was beginning to fear that perhaps I was actually a woman trapped in a man's body until I remembered #1 on the list.

Why in the world would you start crying here? Tears blur the vision! :D

Disagree with 4, 12, 21, 24, 27

4. Alls fair in love and war.
12. Could care less what he wears. If he looks bad standing to me that increases my appearance. Sort of like how women surround themselves with ugly fat chix.
24. A buddy of mine was running around on his pregnant girlfriend, I did not lie for him.
27. I don't like anyone enough to bang an ugly chick for.

It's amazing how true all of those statements are heh

Edit: except for the bit about crying when Angelina Jolie starts unbuttoning her blouse, WHY would you start crying to that? Surely thats a moment to rejoice!!!

I came up with one on my own and it cracked my buddies up.

XX. They only way a guy can apply suntan lotion to another guy is to slap it on like he is trying to revive a dead baby. In no way whats-so-ever is he to "rub" it on.
