The Rules - This Time By Goan Men

We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. Specifically Goan males.

----------
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us bitching about you leaving it down. And if you complain too much we will revert back to the pig toilets.


2. Sunday = Fishing, Football and Feni. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

3. Crying is blackmail. Go to your mother's place for a few days. But don't cry. I will send you flowers through EXPRESSIONS!

4. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it! This is not a subtle Steven Speilberg movie. It is a blatant Prince Jacob tiatr. Do not leave anything to the imagination.

5. We don't remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on the calendar in the kitchen where you mark how many panv and poeis and kanknna the poder delivers everyday. Remind us frequently beforehand. We will send the list to EXPRESSIONS (expressions at apexmail.com)to take care of the matter.

6. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends and sisters are for. And Lepoldin Aunty.

7. If you think you're looking like an Old Aunty, you probably are. Don't ask us. We refuse to answer.

8. Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway; it's genetic. It's Goan.

9. You have enough clothes. You have too many shoes. There are only so many village feasts in a year.

10. Varieties of Feni are as exciting for us as handbags are for you.
