Weddings

OK, Now please forgive me for ranting, but I just had to get this off my chest.

Formal dress for formal occasions has gone to hell in a hand basket. Have you seen some of the fashions of late. I mean really now....what the heck gives?

I found a good example.

How about this guys tie?





There, I feel better now.

On another subject....
I love to grill, so every chance I get I grill away and get Sue out of the kitchen. But...there are some among us who don't appreciate all the work.

BBQ, Man Style




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.

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.

I am absolutely saddened by the gentleman in the back who seems to be drinking a beverage. This is a wedding, not some seedy establishment where anyone could do anything they want, like reveal half of their ample bosoms. Oh....wait. Nevermind.

Ben....I believe that the guy drinking the beer is the dress maker. He was so nervous that someone was going to criticize him for how uneven the hem of the dress was that he had to have a drink to settle his nerves.

Hey Bob....so what's your point? It all seems clear to me! ;-)
