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:
(1) The woman buys the food. Ensuring she is educated in the correct cuts of steak to purchase.
(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.
(6) The woman goes inside to organise 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.
(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.

Went to the doctor the other week
My wife made the appointment
She said I "look tired"
I said I am tired
She said "not normal tired. Weird tired."
I don't know what that means but I went anyway
Nice office
Fish tank in the lobby
Third one this year
Signed in at 1:48pm
My appointment was at 2:00pm
12 minutes early
Because I was raised to believe that matters
The receptionist said "the doctor is running a little behind"
I said "how far behind"
She said "about 45 minutes"
I said "so my 2:00 appointment is actually a 2:45 appointment"
She said "we appreciate your patience"
I said "I haven't shown any yet"
My wife grabbed my arm
There was a sign behind the desk
"Missed appointments without 24-hour notice will incur a $75 fee"
The doctor was 45 minutes late
Nobody offered me $75
We sat down
CNN was playing on mute with subtitles
Running a segment about New York City redesigning its trash cans
Cost the city $4 million
I looked at my wife
She said "don't start"
Seven magazines on the table
All from 2019
I read an article about supply chain disruptions that have since been resolved
Very informative
My wife was on her phone
She looked up and said "WebMD says you might be dehydrated"
I said "so we're paying $1,800 for a second opinion on WebMD"
She went back to her phone
At 2:54pm they called my name
A nurse walked me to a room
Took my blood pressure
Took my temperature
Typed for three minutes
Then said "the doctor will be right in"
I sat on the paper
The paper ripped immediately
I looked at the wall
There was a diagram of a colon
Not how I planned to spend my Tuesday
3:19pm
The doctor walked in
1 hour and 19 minutes after my scheduled appointment
He was looking at his phone
Shook my hand without making eye contact
Sat down and read my chart for about 30 seconds
While I sat there watching him learn who I was
He said "so what brings you in today"
I said "my wife thinks I look weird tired"
He said "what does that mean"
I said "I was hoping you'd tell me"
He said "when's the last time you had bloodwork done"
I said "2019 maybe"
He said "we should run a full panel"
I said "fine"
He asked if I was sleeping well
I said "I have three kids and a golden retriever who thinks 3am is a reasonable time to need outside"
He said "are you drinking enough water"
I said "probably not"
He said "that might be it"
I said "you think the reason I look weird tired is because I don't drink enough water"
He said "dehydration is more common than people think"
I said "I've been here over an hour and sat on a piece of paper that ripped to be told to drink water"
He said "we'll know more when the bloodwork comes back"
I said "when will that be"
He said "3 to 5 business days"
I said "business days"
He said "yes"
I said "my blood has business days"
He didn't respond
Then he said "any other concerns"
I said "several. But none you can bill for."
He shook my hand again
Still no eye contact
Total face time with the doctor: 6 minutes
Total time in the building: 1 hour and 37 minutes
I was examined for approximately 6% of the time I was present
I've fired people for better numbers than that
My wife was in the waiting room
She asked how it went
I said "I need to drink water"
She said "I told you that last week"
I said "yes but now it's a medical opinion so it costs $1,800"
She didn't laugh
In the car she said "at least now you know you're fine"
I said "I was fine when I walked in. I just didn't have the receipt to prove it."
She didn't disagree
The bloodwork came back four business days later
Everything was normal
The doctor's office sent a message through their portal
It said "results look great. Continue to stay hydrated and follow up in 12 months."
Follow up in 12 months
To be told to drink water again
$1,800
1 hour and 37 minutes
6 minutes of face time
One ripped piece of paper
And the same advice my wife gave me for free
Plz fix. Thx.

BYU defeated that 9-4 TCU team, who just beat #16 USC, by 31 points… when TCU had their starting QB.
11-1 in the regular season with their only loss coming on the road to a Top 5 opponent.
These bowl results are making BYU’s already egregious snub from the CFP even worse by the day. All because the SEC (2-5 in bowls) needed 5 bids.
Hey @AOC , @BernieSanders , @SenSchumer , @SenWarren , every Dem should be thanking @potus for doing what the Dems have dreamed of doing, but have NEVER been able to do, creating a sales tax on 2 of the biggest semi companies in the country ! This opens the door for Sales Tax for export licenses on EVERYTHING!
He is going to generate corporate tax revenue that you guys only wish you could pass. You should be thanking him all day, every day for this brilliant move you guys couldn't ever pull off !
In the future, don't call it a tax, call it a Commission for America. BOOM !
