Two years ago I found an interesting article citing 59 Things a Man Should Never Do Past 30, http://wellness-serenity.joeuser.com/article/113612/59_Things_A_Man_Should_Never_Do_Past_30 !

 I've found another list, this time it is 18 things a grown man should never have!  The article was written by Steve Calechman, Men's Health on msn.com.

What are the 18 things a grown man should never have you might be wondering? His words are in bold type or in quotes, mine are in italics. 

1. A black eye.    He said you guys are smart enough to know how to talk your way out of a fight, especially one you won't win!

2. A witty e-mail signature.    Your electronic correspondence should not be "a digital version of a motivational poster!  Leave  for toasts and Karaoke!

3. An empty refrigerator.     You should always be prepared to "create a three-course meal or breakfast in bed for the girl of your dreams!

4. PlayStation thumb.     This means you're "missing out on life"!  He said it, I didn't!LOL!

5. A key chain with a bottle opener.     Leave those college days behind!  This proved that you didn't know how to apply "leverage" with those impromptu bottle openers - "the back end of a fork"!

6. A lucky shirt.    You should know by now that the harder you work, the luckier you will be, a shirt is not it!

7. An unstamped passport.     Time to travel guys!

8. Olympic dreams.     Unless it's "Curling or Archery"!

9. Less than $20 in his wallet.     You should always be able to buy coffee and bagels and the paper, without using plastic!

10. A name for his penis.      Enough said on that one!

11. Any beer that costs less than $20 a case.          He's kidding right?

12. The need to quote The Big Lebowski/ Caddyshack/Superbad.

13. A futon.        That means it is time to buy a 'real' bed!

14. Code words for ugly women.            He says no code word at all!

15. A Nerf hoop in his living room.               This obviously doesn't belong in the living room!

16. A secret handshake.          He's kidding, right?  You MEN wouldn't have that at your age?

17. Drinking glasses with logos.        Even those Star Wars collectibles?  Time to let it go men!

18. A recent story with the phrase "So I said to the cop…"            That means the days of getting in trouble are over for you men out there! Right?
