The script — as said out loud
Several things a grown ass man should never do. The first is split a check with other men. That is the most testicle free thing that's out there. When men split up a check. You pick up the check this time and your buddy should pick it up the next time. If you can't buy your buddy a dinner or a drink or vice versa, or your buddies dinners or drinks, don't go with them. Yeah, it gets different if their wives are involved and it's a $4,000 meal or whatever. But don't split a check or figure out who got the bread and who got the pizza and who got the beer and who got the scotch. Grow the fuck up. Don't split a check. Thing number two is engage in long text exchanges. That's just the most girly thing ever. I hate that. Worse yet is group text. What are we doing in group? Oh, I'm funnier than you. And let me say this about Cognill. And Cogn says no, no, no. No long text, no group text. The third things is don't say anything about your friend or your friend's wife that you wouldn't say to his face. That's some girlish ass shit that goes. And I will confess, once upon a time I have violated that rule a few times. But I'm trying to get away from that. And you should get. If you can't say it to my fucking face, don't say it behind my back. I'll do the. I'll do you the same thing. Thing number four is post a man that post food pictures. What the fuck is that? Don't know. A man eats food or prepares food or pays for food. He doesn't post pictures about the food that he is about to eat. And lastly but not leastly, a grown ass man does not post pictures of his fat ass body on vacation. Guess what? That trophy wife that you've got sitting next to you where you're your dad bought is hanging over the belt that makes your ass look worse, not better. So unless you're in shape, don't post vacation pictures with their shirt off. You won't see me ever do that. So those are today's five grown ass man things you should not do.
