We are about to enter the BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor * *cooking activity * *.* *When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion: **_ _*
*_Routine... _** **
(1) ** **The woman buys the food. ** **
(2) ** **The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert *. * **
(3) ** **The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand. ** **
(4) ** **The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman. **_ _*
*_Here comes the important part: _** **
(5) * *THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL. **_ _*
*_More routine... _** **
(6) ** **The woman goes inside to organise the plates and cutlery. ** (7) ** **The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips the meat *
*_Important again: _** **
(8) ** **THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN. **_ _*
*_More routine... _* *
(9) * The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table. * **
(10) * After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes. *_ _*
*_And most important of all: _** **
(11) * Everyone * **PRAISES * the * **MAN * and * **THANKS HIM * for his cooking efforts. * **
(12) ** **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.*
