>>Rule #1:

>>complain. As a man, you can never have too many cordless drills. No one
>>knows why.
>>
>>Rule #2:
>>
>>If you cannot afford a cordless drill, buy him anything with the
>>word ratchet or socket in it. Men love saying those two words.
>>"Hey George, can I borrow your ratchet?" "OK. "By-the-way, are
>>you through with my 3/8-inch socket yet?" Again, no one knows
>>why.
>>
>>
>>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 from
>>his rear view mirror. Men love gifts for their cars. No one knows why.
>>
>>
>>Rule #4:
>>
>>Do not buy men socks. Do not buy men ties. And never buy men bathrobes.
>>I was told that if God had wanted men to wear bathrobes, he
>>wouldn't have invented Jockey shorts.
>>
>>
>>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
>>with the little picture in the corner. Watch him go wild as he
>>flips, and flips, and flips.
>>
>>
>>Rule #6:
>>
>>Do not buy a man any of those fancy liqueurs, except Godiva. If you do,
>>it will
>>sit in a cupboard for 23 years.
>>
>>
>>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 box. It will ruin his day and he will always have parts left over.
>>
>>
>>Rule #10:
>>
>>Good places to shop for men include Northwest Iron Works, Parr
>>Lumber, Home Depot, Lowes, John Deere, Valley RV Center, and Les Schwab
>>Tire. (NAPA Auto Parts and Sears' Clearance Centers are also excellent
>>men's
>>stores.) It doesn't matter if he doesn't know what it is. "From NAPA
>>Auto,
>>eh?
>>Must be something I need. Hey isn't this a starter for a '68
>>Ford Fairlane? Wow! Thanks.")
>>
>>
>>Rule #11:
>>
>>
>>Men enjoy danger. That's why they never cook - but they will barbecue.
>>Get him a monster barbecue with a 100-pound propane tank. Tell
>>him the gas line leaks. "Oh the thrill! The challenge! Who wants
>>a hamburger?"
>>
>>
>>Rule #12:
>>
>>Tickets to a football, hockey or basketball game are a smart gift.
>>However, he will not appreciate tickets to "A Retrospective of
>>19th Century Quilts." Everyone knows why.
>>
>>
>>Rule #13:
>>
>>Men love chainsaws. Never, ever, buy a man you love a Chainsaw.
>>If you don't know why - please refer to Rule #8 and what happens
>>when he gets a label maker.
>>
>>
>>Rule #14:
>>
>>It's hard to beat a really good wheelbarrow or an aluminum
>>extension ladder. Never buy a real man a step ladder. It must be
>>an extension ladder. No one knows why.
>>
>>
>>Rule #15:
>>
>>Rope. Men love rope. It takes us back to our cowboy origins, or
>>at least the Boy Scouts. Nothing says love like a hundred feet of 3/8"
>>manila rope. No one knows why.
