| New Rule 1: Stop giving me that pop-up ad for Classmates.com! There's
a reason you don't talk to people for 25 years. Because you don't particularly
like them! Besides, I already know what the captain of the football team is
doing these days: mowing my lawn.
New Rule 2: Don't eat anything that's served to you out a window unless
you're a seagull. People are acting all shocked that a human finger was found in
a bowl of Wendy's chili. Hey, the chili costs less than a dollar. What did you
expect it to contain? Trout? Luckily, it was only a finger! If it were a whole
hand, Congress would have voted to keep it alive.
New Rule 3: Stop saying that teenage boys who have sex with their hot,
blonde teachers are permanently damaged. I have a better description for these
kids: lucky bastards.
New Rule 4: Ladies, leave your eyebrows alone. Here's how much men care
about your eyebrows: do you have two of them? Okay, we're done.
New Rule 5: There's no such thing as flavored water. There's a whole
aisle of this crap at the supermarket, water, but without that watery taste.
Sorry, but flavored water is called a soft drink. You want flavored water? Pour
some scotch over ice and let it melt. That's your flavored water.
New Rule 6: The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger the
a**hole. If you walk into a Starbucks and order a "decaf grande half-soy,
half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry,
light ice, with one Sweet-n'-Low and one NutraSweet," ooh, you're a huge
a**hole.
New Rule 7: Girls, just because your tattoo has Chinese characters in it
doesn't make you spiritual. Come on, it's right above the crack of your ass and
it translates to "beef with broccoli." The last time you did anything spiritual,
you were praying to God you weren't pregnant. You're not spiritual. You were
just high when you picked it out.
New Rule 8: Competitive eating isn't a sport. It's one of the seven
deadly sins. ESPN recently televised the US Open of Competitive Eating, because
watching those athletes at the poker table was just too damned exciting. What's
next, competitive farting? Oh wait. They're already doing that. It's called "The
Howard Stern Show."
New Rule 9: If you're going to insist on making movies based on crappy,
old television shows, then you have to give everyone in the Cineplex a remote so
we can see what's playing on the other screens. Let's remember the reason
something was a television show in the first place is the idea wasn't good
enough to be a movie.
New Rule 10: No more gift registries. You know, it used to be just for
weddings. Now it's for babies and new homes and graduations from rehab. Picking
out the stuff you want and having other people buy it for you isn't gift giving,
it's the white people version of looting.
New Rule 11: and this one is long overdue: No more bathroom attendants.
After I zip up, some guy is offering me a towel and a mint like I just had sex
with George Michael. I can't even tell if he's supposed to be there, or just
some freak with a fetish. I don't want to be on your web cam, dude. I just want
to wash my hands.
We have no idea who wrote this except it wasn't us. Thanks everyone. This piece comes from Bill Maher.
