            That works for guys to read, rarely for the women from what I hear. You need to get it delivered to a large enough population of women that it gets discussed between them. Once you reach the saturation point, it spreads outward. Unfortunately reaching that saturation point to be discussed is difficult. Most will give half a smile, roll their eyes and discard the information. Rolling eyes does to incoming information the same thing that ducks feathers do to water, it just rolls off and stays nowhere. ;P

              Agree!!! Solution: Each time you find yourself is a situation described in the rule, just give them a printed version you have stashed all around your place with the rule corresponding to your situation high lighted. But unfortunately, you will still have to argue and discuss about "the rule" and the list because they will need explanation :( as they had already forgot about it. So be prepare to repeat yourself and perhaps after a while (10/15 years) they will get it. Not because you had explained it for that long, it will be because they got a bit more patient about who/what you are... Conclusion: We are doomed to argue :)

                Well, enjoy your camping tonight then... My grandpa told me a short line to use in most all of those situations listed in the rules. "I'm not going to argue with you." It works ok. It's not perfect, but it's the best weapon I've come across so far.
