Let's Have A Barbecue .....

This was in the newspaper during the Christmas holiday break. I thought it was very funny, so I cut it out, and have now decided to share it with my friends who may not have read it. I think it may be very Australian, however I guess all you non-Aussie bloggers will get the idea … I imagine men & women & barbecues are the same the world over !!

THE FEMALE POINT OF VIEW …
1. The woman buys the food.
2. The woman makes the salad, vegetables and dessert.
3. The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray 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.
5. The woman goes inside to organise 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 out another beer while he deals with the situation.
7. The man takes the meat off the grill and hands it to the woman.
8. The woman prepares the plates, salad, etc, 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 efforts.
11. 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.

THE MALE POINT OF VIEW ....
RE 1. The woman does not need to buy the food. The more intelligent male would just stop at the bottle shop at the local licenced supermarket to buy beer and would cunningly ask the obliging young lads to run upstairs and grab him some meat and snags. Job done.
RE 2, 5 and 8. All of the above organising is unnecessary and against the spirit of a true barbie. Problem solved.
RE 3. Meat does not need to be "prepared for cooking". It should be slapped on the barbecue. We don't need sauces. We don't need utensils. A real man turns snags with his bare hands, or the spanner he keeps nearby.
RE 6. We know the meat is burning. Like the American indians, we also know that smoke signals are important for communicating ideas, that is, "Bring me more beer !"
RE 9. All of this hoohah wouldn't be required if you followed the above process properly.

There you go ... I thought it was great. Hope you do too.

Have a great day.
