    GUYS Print this out and post it on the wall near the TV at least a week before the BIG DAY.

    GIRLS Print this off and re-read it at regular intervals before the BIG DAY so you know the rules off by heart and won't have to glance at the copy on the wall. As in previous World Cups, there will be TV's strategically located around the office so we miss nothing. GIRLS - Try not to talk out loud or walk in front of the TV's. Extremely important advice and recommendations to be passed on to wives,girlfriends, fiancés, mothers, sisters, daughters, etc. (to all women in general) These rules are to be communicated prior to the World Cup in June/July this year...

    List Of Rules.

    1. From 9 June to 9 July 2006, you should read the sports section of
    the newspaper so that you are aware of what is going on regarding the
    World Cup, and that way you will be able to join in the conversations.
    If you fail to do this, then you will be looked at in a bad way, or you
    will be totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any
    attention.

    2. During the World Cup, the television is mine, at all times, without
    any exceptions. If you even take a glimpse of the remote control, you
    will lose it (your eye).

    3. If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game, I don't
    mind, >as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without
    distracting me. If you decide to stand nude in front of the TV, make
    sure you put clothes on right after because if you catch a cold, I wont
    have time to take you to the doctor or look after you during the World Cup month.

    4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute, unless I require a
    refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out of your mind if you
    expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone, or
    pick up the baby that just fell from the second floor....it wont happen.

    5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least 2 six packs in the
    fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to nibble on, and
    please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to
    watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between
    12am and 6am, unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day.

    6. Please, please, please!! if you see me upset because one of my teams
    is losing, DO NOT say "get over it, its only a game", or "don't worry,
    they'll win next time". If you say these things, you will only make me
    angrier and >I will love you less. Remember, you will never ever know
    more about football than me and your so called "words of encouragement"
    will only lead to a break up or divorce.

    7. You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk to
    me during halftime but only when the commercials are on, and only if the halftime score is pleasing me. In addition, please note I am saying "one"
    game, hence do not use the World Cup as a nice cheesy excuse to "spend
    time together".

    8. The replays of the goals are very important. I don't care if I have
    seen them or I haven't seen them, I want to see them again. Many times.

    9. Tell your friends NOT to have any babies, or any other child related
    parties or gatherings that requires my attendance because:
    a) I will not go,
    b) I will not go, and
    c) I will not go.

    10. But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to
    watch a game, we will be there in a flash.

    11. The daily World Cup highlights show on TV every night is just as
    important as the games themselves. Do not even think about saying "but
    you have already seen this...why don't you change the channel to
    something we can all watch??", the reply will be: "Refer to Rule #2 of this list".

    12. And finally, please save your expressions such as "Thank God the
    World Cup is only every 4 years". I am immune to these words, because
    after this comes the Champions League, Italian League, Spanish League,
    Premier League, etc etc.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Regards,
    Men of the World
