Nicos, over here you also missed the Gallic Shrug, which means everything and nothing!

I'm going to send HER a copy so she knows her little game has been rumbled!!!

You missed out
"And what do you mean by that?"

which means:
I know perfectly well what you mean , expect you to recant and apologise and whilst you do I'm thinking of a suitable revenge for you if you do apologise and an even worse one if you don't. I will also be in a huff for the rest of the day and say "that's fine", "Go ahead", "If you want to", "do what you like"... and sulk.

THE RULES

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1-The Female always makes THE RULES.

2-THE RULES are subject to change without notice.

3-No Male can possibly know all THE RULES.

4-If the Female suspects the Male knows all THE RULES, she must immediately change some of THE RULES.

5-The Female is never wrong.

6-If it appears the Female is wrong, it is because of a flagrant misunderstanding caused by something the Male did or said wrong.

7-If Rule #6 applies, the Male must apologize immediately for causing the misunderstanding.

8-The Female can change her mind at any time.

9-The Male must never change his mind without the express written consent of The Female.

10-The Female has every right to be angry or upset at any time.

11-The Male must remain calm at all times, unless the Female wants him to be angry or upset.

12-The Female must, under no circumstances, let the Male know whether she wants him to be angry or upset.

13-The Male is expected to read the mind of the Female at all times.

14-At all times, what is important is what the Female meant, not what she said.

15-If the Male doesn't abide by THE RULES, it is because he can't take the heat, lacks backbone, and is a wimp.

16-If the Female has PMS, all THE RULES are null and void and the Male must cater to her every whim.

17-Any attempt to document THE RULES could result in bodily harm.

18-If the Male, at any time, believes he is right, he must refer to Rule #5.
