I've told this story before....yaaaawwwnnnn... but will try to be brief.

Husband played football. Played a team from a higher division with a really intense and skilled lineman guy. A brute! Our coach wanted this kid out of the game. So, he told his players to spit on his hand when they were down. Our kid did it. The brute came up off the line and charged. Got some sort of penalty. Down again. Spit on his hand again. And he came off that line after the kid. He got thrown out of the game. Mission accomplished.

Were you the type of player to be a hand spitter?

Never played football but I would not spit on anyone because that is just nasty.

No, you will be a refined, sensitive, gentleman. Still a manly man, but just mannerly.

Besides spitting and scratching are bad form. Save that sort of behavior for when you go to mud wrestling events.

That's the crux of being a male from my generation...

Refined...

Sensitive...

Mannerly???

M'aam born and raised in the South. That's in our genetic code.

See we are supposed to be all of those and at same time do the whole family "protector" thing.

Since the birth of my first child I believe I have most of that covered...

OK I have never been accused of being refined...:haha:

Can't say ever been to a mud wrestling event...

On the bucket list though. ;-D

Spent majority of my non-working waking moments on a baseball field. Scratching and spitting are perfectly acceptable in that environment. Perhaps a selling point on sport for many a young boy???

Way back, in the stone age according to my children, when I was playing most young ladies that were hanging around the games paid very little attention to our expectorations and "adjustments".

Even had one that came, according to her, to just see me run around in tight uniform pants.

Full disclosure, it was just the one...

OK married her so that kind of ruins point of story.

This Gossip Bench looks almost like the one my Mama bought for the house we grew up in. The one and only telephone we had leased from Southwestern Bell Telephone Company was placed on the little shelf. Telephone books were placed underneath the shelf. Telephone extensions (multiple telephones) came later.

Don’t fall for it. We always hear "the rules" from the female side on how we can become better men. Balderdash! Regardless of what they say, we'll always be Neanderthals. Just stick to our own 20 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. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days

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. 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: Sex, Sports, Cars, or Computers

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

1. If you really want to know... You have enough clothes and you have too many shoes

1. Breasts are for looking at and that is why we do it. Don’t try to change that

That was back in the day when you had to pay a monthly fee for every extension. In the '90s my cousin and I had to let our grandmother know that she wasn't really getting one over on the phone company by having two phones because they no longer charged for extensions. ;-D
