Ruth Middelton's been pondering summertime lately...
It's the only type of cooking a "real" man will do. When a man volunteers to do such cooking, the following chain of events is put into motion.
| 1. | The woman goes to the store. |
| 2. | The woman fixes the salad, vegetables, and dessert. |
| 3. | The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils, and takes it to the man, who is lounging beside the grill. |
| 4. | The man places the meat on the grill. |
| 5. | The woman goes inside to set the table and check the vegetables. |
| 6. | The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. |
| 7. | The man takes the meat off the grill and hands it to the woman. |
| 8. | The woman prepares the plates and brings them to the table. |
| 9. | After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes. |
| 10. | The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off." And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women. |
