When did these thing become so acceptible? I'm now hated by more than I was yesterday because I'm not giving up a Saturday for a baby shower. When asked why I'm not going I said 'becasue it's a saturday, and I don't care about baby gifts'. So much for being honest.

I don't know.....

I don't go to anything jack and jill. My wife won't even ask me anymore. She knows I'll say no every time.

Sometimes she'll put it out there that she won't come to something of mine we're invited to and I just tell her not to come. She doesn't have to...

It's an invite not an order.

Nursery rhyme readings?

What the heck are you talking about?

This is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. It is a joke, and my wife knows not to ask me either. Jack & Jill showers???... Jack & Jill bacehlor/ette parites??? No freakin' way!:hang: :hang:

oh my god what bunch of crap!! Jack and Jill my A$$ I'll bring a pale of water. I hate these things. just keep it to the women and end it!

tell your wife your going to have a jack and jill all nighter down at the tip of napatree point in 2 weeks and you will be expecting gifts in the form of live eels or custom plugs. Better yet have everyone chip in on food too and have them lug it down the beach to help you celebrate your love for fishing...:devil:

tell her you'll only go to jack and jill if all the jills are gorgeous stripper babes....

This is what happens when you let women start wearing pants......

Do you think Mrs. Cleaver ever would have even suggested this to Ward....Hell No!

Jack and Jill Anything is a Communist Conspiracy to undermine the Fabric of this nation.....Men are NOT supposed to OOH and AHH at Spice racks and are NOT supposed to know What "Pastels" are for in the Baby's room!

I might as well just Check My Testicles at the Door if you're going to make me go to one of these things.

I don't care that she got 6 Food Processors and only 5 place settings

I don't Care that they're painting the Baby's room Yellow because because they don't want to put any Preconcieved ideas in little Pat's head.

I don't want to hear about anybody's Breasts getting bigger.....unless her name is Bambi and I can see her Live every Friday and Saturday night....as a matter of fact they should plan the showers for said Friday or Saturday Night so I'll have some place to go.

Its all Friggin Maude's fault.....Walter was a wuss

EXACTLY !!! - I like Andrew Dice Clays version.

"Jack and Jill went up a hill, both had a buck and a quarter
The B*tch came down with $2.50 that #*^ing whore."

so just say "no" and listen to the yelling as you pack you fishing gear and be done with it.

And you can let her know that to avoid this type of disagreement in the future that she shouldn't even consider asking you to another jack and jill event and that because she asked you this time you can politely inform her that this argument is all her fault.









Then run really fast as far as you can......

JUST SAY NO!........Then Duck

and don't give in....or you will be doomed forever...

And don't worry about not getting any for a while , Christmas is right around the corner.

I really did just spit coke all over my keyboard...:bl2: :bl2:

absolutely hold the line, or you may as well just hand over your ba%%s,
and anyone who does give in makes it harder on the rest of us!

Hold your ground. Don't give up and hold firm. Those things are for women and those light in the loafers. I can see if it's winter, the fish have all gone south, there's some type of sporting event on the tv and there's an open bar. That's different. Frig that those things suck. Why can't they just all just leave us alone?

16 years ago in March my mother gave a baby shower to my wife, I stopped by with her rocking chair gift from me and said seeya, gotta go trout fishing now. Those things are like torture. don't go even if it's for your own kid or unless they pay you to go.

Screw that. My wife says that is stupid also. She doesn't blame ya for going fishing.

Hang tough, don't give in. Jack and Jill parties.....There must be something in MAN LAW against it.

hey, you say MAN LAW? well there is some sort of woman law that says if you are a woman you are obligated to go to every baby and bridal shower for other women youve sometimes never even met! I hate these things as much as you guys. Its so unfair. Its like a freakin cult that I just dont//////ooooohh.....aaaahhhh another place setting......oooohh how sweet a baby bib......GOD KILL ME NOW is all I think of the whole time.......
Some women LOVE to go to these things....ugh! I just dont get it...

Yes my family threw a bridal shower for me and my "hubby to be" tricked me...once I got there and figured it out he LITERALLY had to DRAG me through the door.....I was terrified....

That's where you go to drink a lot of white wine, write big checks and say fabulous a lot? Never been...

This thread struck a nerve.

And don't worry about not getting any for a while , Christmas is right around the corner.

:rotf2: That's a good one, but i'm not gettin any cause I puked 2 bottles of red wine all over the bed a while back :smash:

This stupid thing is for my cousin, the wife said if you're not going I'm not going, I said good for you, enjoy your saturday.

Tell your cousin to man up. Unless your cousin is female. If so then tell her husband to grow a pair.

There's a hidden benefit to being hated for not going. Fewer people will invite you to the stupid things in the future.

Why do women think they can change us? They want us to get in touch with our emotional side and all that garbage. Well don't screw with me or your apt to get a right hook! Give me my space and no it's not always fun to do things together. Get over it.

When asked why I'm not going I said 'becasue it's a saturday, and I don't care about baby gifts'. So much for being honest.

Good for you FS, any guy fallin for that J+J baloney stuff deserves what they get. :hih:

Last time I was invited to one, my fiance told me to have fun fishing, she didn't even ask :) Boy I hope that doesn't change after the wedding.

The only reason to ever go to one of these is to get completely ripped out of your mind so the other women present learn never to do ANYTHING Jack & Jill.

Do other men a favor, come loaded with a 5th of Jack.

cause it works for some of them . I know all too many guys that cant fish , go out with the guys , football on sundays . them guys is happy too . some like to be told how to act .


my wife gave up on me 40 years ago but still married me ( 23 years )
