>>Rule #3:

>>If you are really, really broke, buy him  anything for his car. A 
>>99-cent  ice scraper, a small bottle of deicer  or something to hang

>>Rule  #5:
>>
>>
>>You can buy men new remote controls to replace the ones they  have 
>>worn out. If you have a lot of money buy your man a big-screen  TV

>>
>>Rule  #7:
>>
>>Do not buy any man industrial-sized canisters of after shave  or 
>>deodorant. I'm told they do not stink - they are earthy.
>>
>>
>>Rule  #8:
>>
>>Buy men label makers. Almost as good as cordless drills. Within  a 
>>couple  of weeks there will be labels absolutely everywhere. Socks.
>>Shorts.
>>Cups. Saucers. Door. Lock. Sink. You get the idea. No one  knows why.
>>
>>
>>Rule #9:
>>
>>Never buy a man anything that says "some  assembly required" on the

>>
>>
>>Rule #10:
>>
>>Good places to shop for  men include Northwest Iron Works, Parr 
>>Lumber, Home Depot, Lowes, John Deere,  Valley RV Center, and Les
