After the long months of cold and winter, we will soon
be coming up to summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is
important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of
this sublime outdoor cooking 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.
More 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.
More routine.....
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.
