Outdoor BBQing

Definition of 'Outdoor Barbecuing' - the only type of cooking a real man will do.

When a man volunteers to do such cooking, the following chain of events are 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, and places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils, and takes it to the man, who is lounging beside the grill, drinking a beer.
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

    Two Cheechakos (rookie- newcomer) decided to go to Alaska and hunt Bear! After they were flown in and dropped off at a lone cabin deep in the tundra wilderness, a light snow started falling.
    
    One of the Cheechakos grew restless and decided to go outside and see if he could find a bear to shoot, while the other stayed in the cabin to cook up a meal for the both of them.
    
    The Cheechako hunter, feeling a bit chilled, spied a huge grizzly bear not far from the cabin, the bear was at least four times bigger then he ever imagined possible.
    
    Shivering in the cold, he pictured himself eating hot, tasty bear stew from a huge cooking pot, so the unskilled hunter decided to sneak up on the grizzly bear.
    
    Quaking in his brand new hiking/hunting boots, he lifted his trembling rifle... and shot the bear... slightly wounding it's ear.
    
    The huge grizzly more startled then injured, charged while snarling and growling angrily, towards the inept hunter.
    
    The fool-hardy hunter froze for a second... then not knowing that you can't outrun a bear, dropped his rifle and ran as fast as he was able towards the cabin, yelling at the top of his lungs to his friend inside the cabin to
    
    "OPEN THE DOOR!! OPEN THE DOOR!"
    
    His Cheechako friend opened the door and looked out to see what all the commotion was about just in time to see his hunting buddy trip and fall flat at the door step, causing the huge bear running right on his heels, to trip over his buddy and roll right through the cabin door.
    
    The fallen Cheechako quickly jumped up, grabbed the open door and slammed it shut, trapping the huge grizzly in the cabin with his friend, while yelling excitedly...
    
    "YOU HURRY UP AND SKIN THIS ONE! WHILE I GO GET ANOTHER ONE!"

    A man and his wife were considering traveling to Alaska a trip that the husband had long dreamed of taking.
    He kept talking about how great it would be to stay in a log cabin without electricity, to hunt moose, and drive a dog team instead of a car. "If we decided to live there permanently, away from civilization, what would you miss the most?" he asked his wife.
    She replied, "You."
