Womens Rule For The World Cup

    Print off and put on living room door

    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 World
    Cup, 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,
    cool.gif 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 omething
    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 fter
    this comes the Champions League, Italian League, Spanish League, Premier
    League, etc etc.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Excellent. You might want to add a couple more.

    1. Please do not pretend to be interested in the football in the hope of a 'good night' and under no circumstances ask for an explanation of the offside rule.

    2. For the duration of the tournament, you can keep up to date with the soaps by reading any woman's magazine at the weekend.
