    01: Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella, unless at the
    footy, and your pies are getting wet, then for the eating period only it
    is permissible.

    02: It is ok for a man to cry under the following circumstances:

    a. When a heroic dog dies to save its master.
    b. The moment Angelina Jolie starts unbuttoning her blouse.
    c. After wrecking your boss' car.
    d. One hour, 12 minutes, 37 seconds into "The Crying Game".
    e. When she is using her teeth.

    03: Any Man who brings a camera to a stag night may be legally killed
    and eaten by his mates.

    04: Unless he murdered someone in your family, you must bail a friend
    out of jail within 12 hours.

    05: If you've known a bloke for more than 24 hours, his sister is off
    limits forever, unless you actually marry her.

    06: Moaning about the brand of free beer in a mate's fridge is
    forbidden. However, complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable.

    07: No man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another
    man. In fact, even remembering your mate's birthday is strictly
    optional.

    08: On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the
    weakest.

    09: When stumbling upon other blokes watching a sporting event, you may
    ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's
    playing.

    10: You may flatulate in front of a woman only after you have brought
    her to climax. If you trap her head under the covers for the purpose of
    flatulent entertainment, she's officially your girlfriend.

    11: It is permissible to quaff a fruity alcopop drink only when you're
    sunning on a tropical beach... and it's delivered by a topless
    supermodel... and it's free.

    12: Only in situations of moral and/or physical peril are you allowed to
    kick another bloke in the nuts.

    13: Unless you're in prison, never fight naked.

    14: Friends don't let friends wear Speedos. Ever. Issue closed.

    15: If a man's fly is down, that's his problem, you didn't see anything.

    16: Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies
    until they demonstrate knowledge of the game (can explain offside or
    LBW)and the ability to drink as much as the other sports watchers.

    17: A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must
    remain sober enough to fight.

    18: Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of
    pizza,but not both, that's just greedy.

    19: If you compliment a bloke on his six-pack, you'd better be talking
    about his choice of beer.

    20: Never join your girlfriend or wife in discussing a mate of yours
    except if she's withholding s*x pending your response.

    21: Phrases that may NOT be uttered to another man while lifting
    weights:

    a Yeah, Baby, Push it!
    b. C'mon, give me one more! Harder!
    c. Another set and we can hit the showers!

    22: Never talk to a man in a bathroom unless you are on equal footing:
    i.e. both urinating, both waiting in line, etc. For all other
    situations, an almost imperceptible nod is all the conversation you
    need.

    23: Never allow a telephone conversation with a woman to go on longer
    than you are able to have s*x with her. Keep a stopwatch by the phone.
    Hang up if necessary.

    24: The morning after you and a girl who was formerly "just a friend"
    have had drunken s*x, the fact that you're feeling weird and guilty is
    no reason for you not to nail each other again before the discussion
    about what a big mistake it was occurs.

    25: It is acceptable for you to drive her car. It is not acceptable for
    her to drive yours.

    26: Thou shalt not buy a car in the colours of brown, pink, lime green,
    orange or sky blue.

    27: The girl who replies to the question "What do you want for
    Christmas?" with "If you loved me, you'd know what I want!" gets an
    Xbox. End of story.

    28: There is no reason for guys to watch Ice Skating or Men's
    Gymnastics. Ever

    That list has been around a few times - but it's very good.
