It's funny. I'm always joking with Chris about how his mother or any of his ex girlfriends clearly never gave him a copy of "The Rules". I used to have an email with them and finally came across them tonight.

1. Women ALWAYS make the rules.

2. The rules are subject to change without notice.

3. No male can possibly know all the rules.

4. If a woman suspects that a man knows all the rules she must immediately change some of the rules.

5. A woman is never wrong.

6. If it appears that a woman MAY be wrong, it is because of a flagrant misunderstanding caused by something a man did or said wrong.

7. If rule #6 applies, a man must apologise to a woman immediately for causing any misunderstanding.

8. A woman can change her mind at any time.

9. A man must never change his mind without express discussion with a woman.

10. A woman has every right to be upset and angry at any time.

11. A man must remain calm at all times. unless a woman wants him to be angry or upset.

12. A woman, must under no circumstances let a man know whether she wants him to be angry or upset.

13. A man is expected to read the mind of a woman at all times.

14. At all times, what is important is what the female meant, not what she said.

15. If a man doesn't abide by the rules, it is because he can't take the heat, lacks back bone, and/or is a wimp.

16. If a woman has PMS, the rules are null and void and a male must cater for her every whim.

17. Any attempt by a man to document the rules may result in bodily harm, or at the very least, tears.

18. If a man, at any time, believes he is right, he must refer to #5.
