BBQ Rules-Its That Time Again

BBQ RULES For Summer 2007

We are about to enter the summer and BBQ
season. Therefore it is important to refresh
your memory on the etiquette of this sublime

outdoor cooking activity, as it's the only type
of cooking a 'real' man will do, probably
because there is an element of danger involved.
When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the
following chain of events are put into motion:

Routine...

(1) The woman buys the food.

(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the
vegetables, and makes dessert.

(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking,
places it on a tray along with the necessary
cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to
the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer
in hand.

Here comes the important part:

(4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

More routine....

(5) The woman goes inside to organize the
plates and cutlery.

(6) The woman comes out to tell the man that
the meat is burning. He thanks her and asks if
she will bring another beer while he deals with
the situation.

Important again:

(7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND
HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

More routine....

(8) The woman prepares the plates, salad,
bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings
them to the table.

(9) After eating, the woman clears the table
and does the dishes.

And most important of all:

(10) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM
for his cooking efforts.

(11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed
"her night off." And, upon seeing her annoyed
reaction, concludes that there's just no
pleasing some women....
