a GOOD arrangement

[Snake Catcher Victoria]

WHAT IS A BBQ???

Is it the only type of cooking a real man will do? 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, vegetables, and 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 importantly...



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 PEOPLE

Cant wait for summer

BBQ's??? Camp Ovens in the backyard under the Pepper Tree? My hubby has to do everything And everyone else does the dishes! Into the wheelie bin with em! Yeehaa!! :lol: NOW, THAT IS A GOOD ARRANGEMENT, I RECKON! It is my night off afterall.

 

[diamond_python]

No problem with that at all. A mighty fine arrangement if you ask me. The only thing is is that in my house, I prepare the food, buy the food, set the table, cook the food etc etc. Now I can see that I was taking on to many things and better train the wife to do some more. Thanks Baz, she will love you for that

It all seems very normal to me.

That's the way it has been for generations and will be for generations to come. No man should shy from tradition even though that cooking does take it out of you, it's hard to do everything with one hand while skulling a beer with the other!

Some people say that in the future when advanced technology will enable machines to do all heavy manual labour, plus droids will do all household chores that women wont need us anymore and will take power, leaving us men to stay home and simply be sex slaves for women. Scary stuff eh.

 

[africancichlidau]

I LOVE technology

For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on. At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release
stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a manoeuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed an Illegal Operation" warning light.

7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

I like to take the BBQ one step further, paper plates and plastic forks and knives, a good old Coles potato salad works a treat - this I have found these few easy additions help disperse any ill feelings towards the male BBQer :lol:

I dream of the day my wife would ever bring me a beer :lol:

[rodentrancher]
