Christmas Day BBQ - Code of Practice

The authorities have asked us to pass these observations for Douglas residents to refresh them on the etiquette of their Christmas outdoor cooking activities.   

When a man volunteers to do the Christmas Day BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:

• The woman buys the food.   
  
• The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert. 
  
• The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils & sauces, & takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill, beer in hand.   
  
• The woman remains outside the compulsory three metre exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman.   
  
• The Man places the meat on the grill.   
  
• The woman goes inside to organise the plates and cutlery.   
  
• 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   
  
• The man takes the meat off the grill and hands it to the woman.   
  
• The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins,  sauces, and brings them to the table.   
  
• After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.  
• Everyone praises the man and thanks him for his cooking efforts.
• The man asks the woman how she enjoyed 'her Christmas Day off, and, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just NO  pleasing some women!
