  BBQ RULES

  We are about to enter the BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity . 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.

  (4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman.

  Here comes the important part:

  (5)

  THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

  More routine...

  (6) The woman goes inside to organise the plates and cutlery.

  (7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips the meat

  Important again:

  (8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

  More routine...

  (9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.

  (10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

  And most important of all:

  (11) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.

  (12) 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.

  I agree with most of that summary of a typical BBQ but with two exceptions:

  (5)

  THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

  (why should he have to do this since the woman has already brought it out to him? Let her place it on there.)

  (8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN. (Once again an inefficient use of time and energy. Having to handle it twice. Where as if he woulda just

  let her do her job and get it in the first place, dinner would be on the table faster. His job is too important to screw up. He must

  have proper oversight over the woman and make sure she does it all right.)

  I can sure tell in this example that this "man" didn't go to the Kingdom hall because if he had, he would know his proper

  role in the headship arrangement, that of being over the woman and having to dictate and regulate everything to them.

  It's a tough job the man has but somebody has to do it.

  And according to the bible we men got nominated to that task whether we want it or not.

  LOL and a hardy har har,

  A study in different perspectives.

  You know the BBQ is good, when the grease starts dripping from your elbows.
