We do not have enough respect for the Number Two!

I spent Easter Sunday with one of my closet friends. He happens to be Jewish. I may have been the only Non - Jew who was not with his or her family. Heck, I can’t even use the work or travel excuse. The sad part is that he may have known more about the Easter holiday than my catholic schooled ass. Over a meal that consisted of a Cheeseburger Deluxe and Turkey Hoagie (who needs grandma’s ham), he told me a very interesting “Man Rule” story.

On Saturday night, he went to a restaurant for dinner. The patrons were all watching the NCAA tournament with great interest. Sadly, the establishment only had one television. Suddenly, the college game was replaced with the Sixers telecast.

Now, there are just some things that are standards in life. April showers bring May flowers. November has Thanksgiving. December has Christmas and Hanukkah. March has the madness. March madness that is! That’s the man rule.

Needless to say, my friend rose from his seat, used the training he obtained from watching the First 48, and found out that one poor soul who should have had his man card revoked on the spot, asked for the channel change.

Luckily, the male patrons united and got the college game back on the screen.

Another man rule is that the “Number Two” shall be respected. Leave me be. Yes it is gross. We will concede that. However, our most important decisions are made while performing the “Number Two”. Ladies, your fiancĂ© or husband most likely pondered proposing to you while sitting on the toilet. Therefore, I give Busta Rhymes a pass for his attitude when dealing with an impatient fan. People we maintain respect for the “Number Two
