The funniest part about this is that not even half of those fit on my life. Hell, not even a quarter. *eyes his handbag* Then again, is anyone surprised?

But there's one in particular that's interesting, and that's the one about "needing a support group in order to go to the bathroom". I've always wondered, what the hell is up with that? Women always head to the bathroom in a group. It's utterly disgusting. Who wants to be in the company of a friend urinating? (sure us guys have that "opportunity" in most bathrooms, but who'd do it by sheer will?)

Fucked up I tell you.

Fifteen years ago they told those exact same jokes (and better ones) with Mr. T in place of Chuck Norris.

For instance:

Mr. T. does not break wind. He destroys it.

Mr. T puts the laughter in manslaughter.

Mr. T once bit off more than he could chew. He ate it anyway.

Mr. T speaks only when necessary. His main form of communication is folding his arms and slowly shaking his head. And regardless of the situation, he is always understood.

On the A-team, Face , Haniabal, and Murdoch were all masters of disguise. Mr T didn’t have to wear a disguise. The bad guys didn’t recognize him out of fear.

There are only three horsemen of the apocalypse, because Mr. T is going to walk.

Despite popular belief, Mr. T in fact ended the civil rights movement by getting on a bus….all caucasian people moved to the back.

Mr. T does not have to kick the crap out of you, crap runs out of your ass in fright when you come into contact with Mr. T.

Mr. T is not black. It’s just that the sun is to afraid to shine on him.

Well non of these lists are new to me since they all find there way into my email box at one point in time or another.


Here is my contribution.

The 20 "Man" Commandments.

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

4.) 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.

5.) 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.

6.) 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.

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

8.) 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.

9.) 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.



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.

I disagree. There are only three instances:

A. After accidentally kicking a chair and ripping part of your toenail off.
B. At the sheer joy of sleeping with two girls (crying in order to GET two girls is also permissable).
C. At the end of An American Tail.


3.) If you've known a Man for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits forever, unless you actually marry her.
Corollary: If you know both the girl's brother and ex-boyfriend, you only need permission from one of these men.

11.) Unless you're in prison, never fight naked.
Unless you know you can win. Nothing drives a point home like being beaten down by a naked man.

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

- 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

Mr. T speaks only when necessary. His main form of communication is folding his arms and slowly shaking his head. And regardless of the situation, he is always understood.

Despite popular belief, Mr. T in fact ended the civil rights movement by getting on a bus….all caucasian people moved to the back.

Mr. T is not black. It’s just that the sun is to afraid to shine on him.
Excellent material! Bravo! :)

Looks like that dream to have Irwin on the same level as Norris came true.
