P had to have gotten this email and loved it because he performed it!

I was surprised when I heard iFirday night in Houston and then changed up a bit on Sat so here it is


The rules according to men
AND NOW WE ALL KNOW

Finally, the guys side of the story. We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from THE MALE SIDE. These are our rules! Please note... these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1 Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.

1. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know men really don't mind that, it's like camping. Pass this to as many men as you can -- to give them a laugh. Pass this to as many women as you can -- to give them an even bigger laugh!!



He left some of them out but the majority was in there too funny P gets chain emails too!!!

Aha! I was reading a set list thread over at NPGMC, guy was attempting to list every song that's been played on the Musicology tour. They were talking about this song (The Rules), and I had no clue what it was about. Thanks!

I see your point...hope he just did it for laff's and it doesn't mean he's suffering from writer's block!

How about one of you just TELL ME what he said in the song & how it relates to this email?? I wasn't in Houston so I DON'T KNOW

Hey Calhoun,

It was essentially a blues jam. He started something like this, " you know evertime I come down south I gotta play the blues..." Then he worked most of the "rules" into a quasi improptu jam.
