important rules to follow for the upcoming worldcup

Ladies, please study and accommodate your other
halves...Extremelyimportant advice and recommendations to be passed on
to wives, girlfriends,fiancés, mothers, sisters, daughters, etc. (to all
women in general)
These rules are to be communicated prior to the World Cup in
June/July this year...

List Of Rules.

1. From 9 June to 9 July 2006, you should read the
sports section of the newspaper so that you are aware of what is going on
regarding the WorldCup, and that way you will be able to join in the
conversations. If you fail to do this, then you will be looked at in a bad
way, or you will be totally ignored.
DO NOT complain about not receiving any attention.

2. During the World Cup, the television is mine, at
all times, without any exceptions. If you even take a glimpse of the remote control, you will lose it (your eye).

3. If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a
game, I don't mind, as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without
distracting me. If you decide to stand nude in front of the TV, make sure
you put clothes on right after because if you catch a cold, I wont have
time to take you to the doctor or look after you during the World Cup
month.

4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute,
unless I require a refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out of
your mind if you expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the
telephone, or pick up the baby that just fell from the second floor...it
wont happen.

5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least 2
six packs in the fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to
nibble on, and please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between 12am and 6am, unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day.

6. Please, please, please!! if you see me upset because one of my teams is losing, DO NOT say "get over it, its only a game", or "don't worry, they'll win next time". If you say these things, you will only
make me angrier and I will love you less. Remember, you will never ever
know more about football than me and your so called "words of
encouragement" will only lead to a break up or divorce.

7. You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game
and you can talk to me during halftime but only when the commercials are on, and only if the halftime score is pleasing me. In addition, please
note I am saying "one" game, hence do not use the World Cup as a nice cheesy excuse to "spend time together".

8. The replays of the goals are very important. I don't care if I have seen
them or I haven't seen them, I want to see them again. Many times.

9. Tell your friends NOT to have any babies, or any other child related
parties or gatherings that requires my attendance because:
a) I will not go,
b) I will not go, and
c) I will not go.

10. But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to watch a
game, we will be there in a flash.

11. The daily World Cup highlights show on TV every night is just as
important as the games themselves. Do not even think about saying "but you have already seen this...why don't you change the channel to something we can all watch??", the reply will be: "Refer to Rule #2 of this list".

12. And finally, please save your expressions such as
"Thank God the World Cup is only every 4 years". I am immune to these
words, because after this comes the Champions League, Italian League, Spanish League, Premier League, etc etc.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Regards,
Men of the World
