A buddy of mine just told me a story about how he was recently at a party with his cousin and didn’t know anyone there. Because he was dragged to this party by his wife, he and his cousin started playing this crazy “hide the beer bottle” game instead of making friends and being social. According to him the rules of the “hide the beer bottle” game are easy. Step 1: Drink a beer. Step 2: Hide the bottle in a ridiculous place (in the microwave, in cabinets, in drawers, inside the back of the toilet, behind plants, etc.) Step 3: Laugh about where you hid the bottle with the people you’re playing with. Step 4: Top the last guy that went.
When I asked him why he and his cousin decided to play this game, he responded, “You’ve got to do things like that for kicks. Because after you get married; you’re not allowed to have any fun.”

I have to totally dispute your friend’s statement that you can’t have fun when you’re married. I realize that most married men are under a tight leash with their wives and I guess aren’t allowed to have fun. But Chad has as much fun as his non-married friends. In fact, most of his friends are unmarried, and he hangs out with them all the time. He is totally not deprived of fun. He may not pick up girls, but trust me he has fun! I try to tell him how lucky he is all the time because of this.
