    1. David_Doud | Dec 06, 2001 11:17pm | #2

      *retained biological gases, being injurious to health, shall be expelled as necessary -

      1. Doug_Recko_ | Dec 06, 2001 11:25pm | #3

        *It's normal to take something into the "reading room"Sex SHALL be more than once a month....(uh-oh....did I just give our too much information!!!)David, the more you expel, the more you love her

        1. James_DuHamel | Dec 06, 2001 11:48pm | #4

          *No no no... to show how much you REALLY love her, ya gotta expel loudly, and in public while she is holding your hand or arm. Then, just as that loud vibrato hits the airwaves, you look at her coyly and raise an eyebrow. Kind of a look of surprise that SHE let one loose so loudly and proudly! (Ha ha)James DuHamel

          1. Doug_Recko_ | Dec 07, 2001 12:15am | #5

            *James, Good one....I'll remember to try it

          2. Doug_Recko_ | Dec 07, 2001 12:16am | #6

            *Another rule...Certain "things" need to be adjusted from time to time.....

          3. Dave_Riggs | Dec 07, 2001 12:49am | #7

            *"Don't try this at home" really means "Don't try this while your wife is home" My Golden Rule.

          4. Cami_A | Dec 07, 2001 03:26am | #8

            *A man can never have too many tools, and even if he does, each job requires a new tool to do the job right.

          5. Cynthia_S | Dec 07, 2001 04:36am | #9

            *HOW TO IMPRESS A WOMAN respect her, honor her, cuddle her, kiss her, caress her, love her, stroke her, tease her, comfort her, protect her, hug her, hold her, spend money on her, wine and dine her, buy things for her, listen to her, care for her, stand by her, support her, hold her, go to the ends of the Earth for her. HOW TO IMPRESS A MAN Show up naked. Bring food.

          6. Luka_ | Dec 07, 2001 04:38am | #10

            *ROFLMFAOOh yeah !!

          11. James_DuHamel | Dec 07, 2001 06:39am | #15

            *Literally...James DuHamel

          12. Luka_ | Dec 07, 2001 06:45am | #16

            *How do you know that ?

          13. Novy_7 | Dec 07, 2001 06:48am | #17

            *figurativley speaking

          14. BEN_NOTHSTEIN | Dec 07, 2001 08:01am | #18

            *RULE # 1. if it has TIRES or TITS you know your going to have a PROBLEM with it.....

          15. James_DuHamel | Dec 07, 2001 09:18am | #19

            *Luka,Same way I know dog poop tastes bad. Never tasted it personally, but just KNOW that the taste is bad (or bad taste).James DuHamel

          16. alan_r. | Dec 07, 2001 10:20am | #20

            *Cynthia... you are funny... and my wife is laughing cause you're RIGHT!

          17. Luka_ | Dec 07, 2001 12:41pm | #21

            *Who cares how many holes are in the underwear, as long as your legs fit through two of them.

          18. Armin_ | Dec 07, 2001 04:14pm | #22

            *Luka, the quanity of holes in da underwear IS important. Up here in da far norte we layer underwear so da more holes da more chance dae line up mit each other rendering da thermal qualities useless.

          19. Ron_Teti | Dec 07, 2001 05:47pm | #23

            *Cynthia...Will you marry me ??? :)Oh yea when you expell quietly but it is well "noticed in public be sure to blame it on her. Such s standing in a grocery check out line and say " Its ok hunny everyone will think it is me"

          20. Jeff_Clarke_ | Dec 07, 2001 07:25pm | #24

            *Careful, Ron, even naked she's probably still packing a SigSauer P226! You might end up with holes in your shorts of a different kind.

          21. Mr.T | Dec 08, 2001 02:17am | #25

            *Dont go shopping unless you known what you want before hand.

          22. Luka_ | Dec 08, 2001 02:36am | #26

            *And don't go to more than 2 stores looking for what you want. And don't spend any more than ten minutes in the store. Get in, get what you want, and get out.With one exception...Tools.

          23. Ron_Teti | Dec 08, 2001 05:38am | #27

            *If its a contact sport leave me alone and get me a iced tea ( i dont drink anymore)

          24. Tara_Gabriel | Dec 09, 2001 02:24am | #28

            *Or you follow my husband's version of "expelling" volcanous gasses while in public----do it fast and loud and then run---puts the blame on the wife.

          25. Ron_Teti | Dec 09, 2001 05:47am | #29

            *If you shke it more than twice your playing with it.never pee in a stall next to someone when there is another vacant one. Put at least one stall between you and the other guy.dont look around side to side or any place else except right in front of you or down at your tool when peeing.

          26. John_Lazaro | Dec 09, 2001 06:06am | #30

            *If you have to "expell gases" (ie. break wind, fart, float an air biscuit,...) and it's going to be audible, make sure you're standing next to your kids so you can blame them.

          27. Armin_ | Dec 10, 2001 01:20am | #31

            *Gas is like knowledge- it's best when it's passed.

          28. Stephen_Hazlett | Dec 10, 2001 08:37pm | #32

            *A tv remote is useless. I would hate to see the day when I was to lazy to tell my wife or one of the kids to get up and change the channel.

          29. RJT_ | Dec 11, 2001 05:22am | #33

            *Men don't need rules. Men rule!!

          30. Mr.T | Dec 12, 2001 04:03am | #34

            *Men will NEVER understand women and women will NEVER understand what its like to live underthe influence of TestosteroneT-Bone

          31. Cynthia_S | Dec 12, 2001 04:28am | #35

            *This is why we'll never understand each other!b ; )

          32. Boss_Hog | Dec 12, 2001 11:12pm | #36

            *Cynthia -That's sick.i And sexist.

          33. Tesaje_ | Dec 12, 2001 11:14pm | #37

            *But funny.Mary

          34. Ron_Teti | Dec 13, 2001 12:40am | #38

            *I resemble that remark :)

          35. Lisa_Long | Dec 13, 2001 03:24am | #39

            *Women have testosterone as well. We just handle it better. ;-)

          36. Ron_Teti | Dec 16, 2001 06:23pm | #40

            *When we grunt rnnnt it means yes. So we answered your question, when we grunt rrrnt it means no. Ya just dont understand english.
