OK Ladies...I got this in an email from a male buddy. I've read 'em all and thought I should share them since they seem to be pretty accurate. I think it's the first "gender specific" email joke that was NOT written to offend either gender, yet still be damn funny! #16 is my favorite!
Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks.

edit... I forgot to mention - Of course, they're all true, but #21 and #32 are my favorites.

good read

Is there a rule about internet one-upmanship??? <goes back to read and >

TOTALLY TRUE!

At first I laughed then I started nodding my head and thinking, "Yup - damn straight".

#7 and #32 are my favorites.

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

this one should have a disclaimer as to whether or not the guy is an asshole........

other than that, pretty good list

My chapter of the MCMT (Man club of middle TN) has a few adendums.
A1. Unless you are physically or otherwise impared, A man should never be caught riding in the passenger seat with a female driving.
A2. Unless your 3-day kit is empty, A man should never ask for directions no matter how many times you fill up at the same station.
A3. While building or repairing anything, A man can never ask a female for help.
A4. A man may never mention his medical issues to another man unless it is a really cool scar, broken bone, gunshot/stab wound, ect.. Hemroids, gonorrhea, craps, "tummy aches", ect. are stictly forbidden.
 

Good stuff!

I agree with all points

Quoted: 4.) If you've known a Man for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits forever, unless you actually marry her. this one should have a disclaimer as to whether or not the guy is an asshole........ other than that, pretty good list

+1 on this.  The bigger the asshole the higher the "Hit It" factor.  Even if she is a butter face with summer teeth.

Hemroids, gonorrhea, craps, "tummy aches", ect. are stictly forbidden.   The Mr. hates it when we go somewhere and I drive.  Can't STAND riding in the passenger seat.  I hate to break it to him, but when he drives, I fear for my life.  There's a reason I call the passenger seat in his truck the 'death seat'.

HUGE +1 on that...Mr. Playmore is a scary scary man when he's driving...I still let him though: he's scarier when I say, "I'll drive..." and he snatches the keys outta my deathgrip with a look that could melt steel.

The only time I DON'T get that look when I offer to drive is if he's drinking.
Then I get a completely DIFFERENT look.......

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

One day I will tell ya'll a story that involves a road trip, a passenger with a full bladder, and a driver who wouldn't stop for 45 minutes- while driving 120 MPH.

I like 22.

Damn, I've violated a whole mess of those.

that is funny.

Unless you are physically or otherwise impared, A man should never be caught riding in the passenger seat with a female driving.

I'm glad MrGH doesn't feel this way, because yes I prefer to drive as I too fear for my life when he does.

Quoted: Damn, I've violated a whole mess of those.

Which ones

I've violated #4 a couple times and one of them ended up with #22 comming into play

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

Oooops! My bad.

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

Sorry dude, tell her i said

+1.  Before I met my wife, I messed around with her ex-fiancee's sister.

Quoted: Quoted: I only disagree with #30.  On the whole, that's funny as hell! You're not allowed to disagree--sorry!

I've known of a few men who liked cats who were plenty "manly" and didn't have anything to worry about concerning their masculinity.  Seems to me that a man who is afraid to admit he might like cats because his male-ness might be "threatened" has bigger issues to worry about.

Quoted: Quoted: I only disagree with #30.  On the whole, that's funny as hell! You're not allowed to disagree--sorry!

Ummm the penalty is to pull her man card!!!!  O she is really cool, but she doesn't have one of those.

SoS

Unless you are physically or otherwise impared, A man should never be caught riding in the passenger seat with a female driving.

I fullheartedtly agree with this, at least in my case.  Someone who can't make decisions quickly, likes to accelerate from 0-30 as fast as the car will get there, and rides bumpers should not be driving, at least when I'm in the car (my wife).  

On that note, the only time I let her drive is when I am drunk, other than that, no.  She says that she is scared for her life when I drive, but I must say I feel that fear is unfounded.  I don't speed,I don't ride bumpers, and I don't punch it every time a green light appears.  I guess she gets scared because she is not in control, more than I actualy drive poorly.
