The Bro Code
The Bro Code Declaration
When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for Bros to settfe a dispute, decent respect to the opinions of Bro-kind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to argue, though prudence says it's probably a chick. We hold these truths to he self evident, that all Bros are created equal — though not necessarify with the same good looks or sense of style — and that they are endowed with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of tail. To secure these rights, we present the Bro Code. If is the right of Bros to after or to abolish it, and to institute a new code, but let's face it — that's a lot of work.Be it here resolved that, henceforth, when and if two gentfemen cover the company of the same wench, the Bro who first called dibs on said wench shall be entitled sufferance for such time as it takes to reasonably strike out, or the time it takes sand to fill one half of an hourglass, whichever comes first. At no point is it permissible for a Bro to violate this right and codpiece block his Bro, even if he hath consumed copious quantities of ale.
