Greatest Hits, Seriously

Here are some simple instructions for men who want to show affection to other men.

HUGGING

1. Go for the mid-height hi-five with your right hand, but lean in a little with your shoulder so he knows what is coming.

2. Don’t let go, and pull.  (Your right hands now serve as a buffer eliminating the possibility of a full-torso touch.)

3. With your left hand, reach around behind his back and tap 3 times. This is code for “I’m not gay”

BONUS MOVE:  Lean way back during the  final release of your initial  hi-five, and pull as hard as you can with just your fingers.  A snapping sound will occur.  Sweet!

KIND WORDS

This one is easy.  Just speak from your heart, and then add the word “man” or “dude”.

I.E.:  “I love you man!” or “dude this has been fun” or “I appreciate your advice man”

SPANKING

This is a very delicate move, and it must occur with absolute precision.

1.  First of all, the male-to-male spank can ONLY take place when both parties are dressed for AND  participating in a team sport .  Never attempt when bowling, golfing, fishing, or repairing an engine.

2. ALWAYS spank in public.

3. DO NOT make eye-contact.  In fact, it’s better if something else already has your attention before your hand even makes contact.

4. ONLY spank in a moment of praise.  NEVER spank as a means of discipline.

5. ONLY SPANK ONCE!!  I cannot overemphasize this.

OKAY:   “Nice Block Jim!” [spank] “Let’s go Steve!”

NEVER OKAY:  “You can’t do that Mike. That’s cheating!” [spank] “Cheating is naughty!”  [spank]

HOLDING HANDS

This is only okay when praying in a group, playing Red-Rover, or when saving your friend from falling off of a cliff.

TICKLING

This is never okay.

    thank you for clarifying. I was wondering why my buddy Joe has been avoiding me lately.

    is it ever ok to perform more than one “maneffection” at a time? i.e. holding their hand while spanking? i.e. if they make a good stop in red rover as your partner and you give them a little “good job” spank?

    you forgot the “Power Embrace”

    Will someone tell this to Chris Tomlin. Every time I see him in concert he makes everyone hold hands so we can dance in the imaginary river. I always end up next to some dude I don’t know. His song lasts for forever and it becomes awkward.

  • Steve

    I laughed pretty hard when I read Spanking #5 and imagined a football player chasing his teammate around the field trying to give him a spank for every point he just scored.

    the reason you pat on the back three times is because it is man language for “I’m not gay.”

  • Patrick

    French Kissing was OK in “Baseketball”

  • Red and Delicious

    It’s not gay unless you make eye contact.
