Demerit Point System Explained

In the world of romance, one single rule applies: Make the woman happy. Do something she likes, and you get points. Do something she dislikes and points are subtracted. You don't get any points for doing something she expects. Sorry, that's the way the game is played. Here is a guide to the points system:
SIMPLE DUTIES
* You make the bed ....................+1
* You make the bed, but forget to add the decorative pillows.... 0
* You throw the bedspread over rumpled sheets...................-1
* You leave the toilet seat up.............-5
* You replace the toilet paper roll when it is empty............ 0
* When the toilet paper roll is barren, you resort to Kleenex...-1
* When the Kleenex runs out you use the next bathroom...........-2
* You go out to buy her extra-light panty liners with wings.....+5
* in the snow...............+8
* but return with beer..........-5

I must get my DH to do this. Actually, I don't need to. I can already predict his score. LOL! ;-) Hope you're enjoying the weekend, Bailey! It's turned quite cold here and the leaves are changing colour. Autumnal, but I like it.

Peggy - nope, can't take credit for this one, it came in an email.



Okay, I'm at work and I've forgotten my password, so I'll be anonymous today. LOL

ROFLOL. I love it Bailey! Maybe because we use this system in our house and DH often says jokingly when he's done something "bad" -- "How are my points doing?"

LOL. Right now he's up a million points for offering to snap a pic of himself on a CF-18 for Loreth's contest.

Thanks for sharing!
