New Rule: Stop giving me that pop-up ad for [Classmates.com](http://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: 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, it cost less than a dollar. What  
did you expect it to contain? Trout?

New Rule: 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: If you need to shave and you still collect baseball cards,  
you’re gay. If you’re a kid, the cards are keepsakes of your idols. If  
you’re a grown man, they’re pictures of men.

New Rule: 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: 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: Stop f\*\*\*ing with old people. Target is introducing a  
redesigned pill bottle that’s square, with a bigger label. And the top  
is now the bottom. And by the time grandpa figures out how to open it,  
his ass will be in the morgue. Congratulations, Target, you just solved  
the Social Security crisis.

New Rule: 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: I’m not the cashier! By the time I look up from sliding my  
card, entering my PIN number, pressing “Enter,” verifying the amount,  
deciding, no, I don’t want cash back, and pressing “Enter” again, the  
kid who is supposed to be ringing me up is standing there eating my  
Almond Joy.

New Rule: Just because your tattoo has Chinese characters in it doesn’t  
make you spiritual. 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’re just high.

New Rule: 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: I don’t need a bigger mega M&M. If I’m extra hungry for M&Ms,  
I’ll go nuts and eat two.

New Rule: 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 that  
the idea wasn’t good enough to be a movie.

New Rule: 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: 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. don’t want to be on your  
webcam, dude. I just want to wash my hands.

New Rule: When I ask how old your toddler is, I don’t need to know in  
months. “27 Months.” “He’s two,” will do just fine. He’s not a cheese.  
And I didn’t really care in the first place.
