The BBQ Routine
We are finally coming up to the wonderful BBQ season.
Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity, as it’s the only type of cooking a ‘real’ man will do, probably because there is an element of danger involved. 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, prepares the vegetables, and makes 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.
Back to the 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.
The routine continues….
(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 most important of all:
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 women….
OK, I stole this joke from over at SteelHeader.net but I couldn’t resist since I am currently shopping for a new BBQ myself.

A local game warden hears a tip about a man down a the lake catching hundreds of fish. So he tears on down to the lake and finds an old farmer out on the lake throwing sticks of dynamite into the lake. BOOM! and a huge column of water and fish erupt form the water. In total disbelief the warden puts his boat in the water and races over the farmer’s boat. He says “Just what the hell do you think you are doing? I’ll placing you under arrest!”. The farmer calmly says “what the fuck does it look like I am doing. Fishing you idiot”. The warden says “By Washington State Law anyone caught fishing with explosives is committing a felony offence”. The farmer calmly picks up another stick of dynamite lights and lights it and says “You I did’t come here to bullshit so quit being such an asshole and help caught some fish” then tosses the stick of dyamite into the warden’s boat.
