Rules For Grillin

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 organize 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!

This is South Carolina...it's always bbq season. I think you're talking about grilling season....You ain't a Yankee are you? Cause there's grilling....and there's bbqing. Try not to confuse the two.

I have seen a woman straight get down on a grill before(not that it happens often) but that was some mean yardbird quarters and sausage she was cooking....not saying that to downplay the role of food prep and cleanup from the woman neither

Bar-b-queing and grilling out are not even close to being the same thing!

It always buggs me when people say they are bar-b-queing when they mean grilling. I agree w/ professor. You don't bar-b-que a hamburger!! or steak!!

You cook barbecue. You don't put things on the barbecue. When I hear someone say that, I immediately want to administer 5 to 10 swift kicks to their ass.
