What are Brohams?
Brohams are guys that would do anything for each other, excluding: homosexual activity, dressing up in women's clothes, and lending a shoulder to cry on (Brohams don't cry).
What does being a Broham mean?
A Broham is the top of the social food chain. By having connections with Brohams, you will open up more doors to the future then ever before. A Broham is the highest rank of friend, therefore allowing more things to be done without worrying about outside judgement. If someone questions you say, "Nah, we're just Brohams." They'll know.
Why the word Broham?
Why not?
THE LAWS
Article 1: Bro's Before Ho's
The bond between two men is stronger than the bond between a man and a woman because, on average, men are stronger than women. That's just science.
Did You Know...Article 1 can trace it's genesis all the way back to Genisis. No, not the Peter Gabriel/Phil Collins pop triad, but the biblical book. The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls has unearthed a once-lost passage that documents the earliest infringement of The Bro Code.
Book Of Barnabas 1:1And everything of need was provided in that Garden. Fruit, water, companionship. But one day, Adam came upon a naked chick, Eve, and desired her olive leaf. And so Adam wenteth behind and apple tree to know Eve, totally ditching his Bro, Phil, who had Knicks tickets, Courtside. Long story short, humankind became self-aware, paradise was lost, and well, we all know what happened to the Knicks.

Article 2 : A bro is always entitled to do something stupid, as long as the rest of his Bros are all doing it
Note: Had Butch Cassidy come charging out of the cabin alone people would have been like, "Dude, come one". If only one Spanish dude had decided to run down the street in front of a bunch of angry bulls, people would've been like, "Dude, come one". If only Tommy Lee had worn eyeliner in the early day of Motley Crue, people would've been like, "Lady, come one". The license to be stupid is why we have Bros in the first place.
Article 3 : If a Bro gets a dog, it must be at least as tall as his knee when full-grown
COROLLARY: Naming a lapdog after a pro wrestler or a character from a Steve McQueen movie does not absolve a Bro from the spirit of this article
Article 4 : A Bro never divulges the existence of The Bro Code to a woman. It is a sacred document not to be shared with chicks for any reason... no, not even that reason
Note: If you are a woman reading this, first, let me apologize: it was never my intention for this book to contain so much math
Second, I urge you to look at this document for what it is- a piece of fiction meant to entertain a broad audience though the prism if stereotypical gender differences. I mean, sometimes it really is like we're from different planets! Clearly, no real person would actually believe or adhere to the vulgar rules contained within. *Those boots are adorable, b-t-dub.

Article 5 : Whether he cares about sports or not, a Bro cares about sports.
Article 6 : A Bro shall not lollygag if he must get naked in front of other Bros in a gym locker room
COROLLARY: If a bro gets naked in a locker room, all other Bros shall pretend that nothing out of the ordinary is happening while, at the same time, immediately averting their eyes. When in doubt, remember the old adage: "If a towel drops to the floor, so should your eyes".
Article 7 : A Bro never admits he can't drive, even after an accident
Article 8 : A Bro never sends a greeting card to another Bro
There are no sentiments between Bros that cannot be articulated through the convenience and emotional distance of electronic mail. The following are a few emails for any Brocassion that succinctly get the message across without costing you the trouble and expense of having to find and then send an actual greeting card.

Article 9 : Should a Bro lose a body part due to an accident or illness, his fellow Bros will not make lame jokes such as "Gimme three!" It's still a high five... metaphorically speaking, of course
Article 10 : A Bro will drop whatever he's doing and rush to help his Bro dump a chick
It's normal for a Bro to get confused and disorientated when dumping a chick. For some reason he's worried she'll become agitated or even violent after he calmly explains his desire to have sex with her friends. This is when a Bro most needs his Bro to remind him that there are plenty more chicks in the ocean, and that a breakup need not be hazardous, stressful, or even time-consuming.
SIDE-BRO: HOW TO DUMP A CHICK IN SIX WORDS OR LESS"Maybe try a side salad instead"
"Cute! You're growing a mustache, too!"
"She looks like a younger you"
"I will finance a boob job"
"Sorry I threw out your shoes"
"Your sister let me do that"

Article 11 : A Bro may ask his Bro(s) to help him move, but only after first disclosing an honest estimate on both time commitment and number of large pieces of furniture. If the Bro has vastly underestimated either, his Bros retain the right to leave his possessions where they are - in most cases, stuck in the doorway.
Article 12 : Bros do not share dessert.
Article 13 : All Bros shall dub one of their bros his wingman
Article 14 : If a chick inquires about another Bros sexual history, a Bro shall honour the Brode of Silence and play dumb. Better to have women think all men are stupid than to tell the truth.
Article 15 : A Bro never dances with his arms above his head.
Article 16 : A Bro should be able, at any time, to recite the following reigning champions: Super Bowl, World Series and Playmate of the Year.
Article 17 : A Bro shall be kind and courteous to his co-workers, unless they are beneath him on the pyramid of Screaming.
America was built on the backs of men and women who were yelled at to work harder, and the tradition has been screamed from generation to generation. But you can’t just scream at anybody …. You can only scream at those beneath you.
For example my own corporate Scream Pyramid

Article 18 : If a Bro spearheads a beer run at a party, he is entitled to any excess monies accrued after can canvassing the group.
NOTE: To avoid confrontation, it’s a good idea for the bro to jettison the receipt before returning to the party.
Article 19 : A Bro shall not sleep with another Bro’s sister. However, a Bro shall not get angry of another Bro says, “Dude, your sister’s hot!”
COROLLARY: It’s probably best for everyone if Bros just hide pictures of their sisters when other Bros are coming over.

Article 20 : A Bro respects all his Bros in the military because they’ve selflessly chose to defend the nation, but more to the point, because they can kick his ass six ways to Sunday.
Article 21 : A Bro never shares observations about another Bro’s smoking-hot girlfriend. Even if the Bro with the hot girlfriend attempts to bait the Bro by saying, “She’s smoking-hot, huh?” a Bro shall remain silent, because in this situation, he’s the only one who should be baiting.
Article 22 : There is no law that prohibits a woman from being a Bro.
Women make excellent Bros. Why? Because they can translate and navigate the confusing and contradictory whims that comprise the Chick Code.
DO CHICKS REALLY HAVE THEIR OWN CODE?
Yes, I’m afraid so. One morning, before slipping out the door wile my hostess was in the shower, I happened upon a copy of the rumored tome. I didn’t have time to flip must past the pink bedazzled cover, but here are some of the phases I remember seeing on the frilly pages within:
• A chick shall not sleep with another chick’s ex-boyfriend, unless she does.
• A chick never pays for anything. Ever.
• If two chicks get into a fight, they shall make catty remarks and pretend to ignore each other, rather than simply stripping down and wrestling it out.
• If a chick hears a chick-empowering song like “I Will Survive,” she shall stop whatever she’s doing, grab another chick’s hand, and shriek the lyrics at the top of her lungs.
• A chick may get a dog as a pet, but only if it fits in her mailbox.
• If two chicks are wearing the same outfit, each retains the right to accidentally spill a drink on the other.
• A chick shall not operate a motor vehicle in a safe manner.
• A chick has a free pass to slut it up on Halloween.

Article 23 : When flipping through TV channels with his Bros, a Bro is not allowed to skip past a program featuring boobs. This includes, but is not limited to, exercise shows, women’s athletics, and on some occasions, surgery programs.
Article 24 : When wearing a baseball cap, a Bro may position the brim at either 12 or 6 o’ clock. All other angles are reserved for rappers and the handicapped.
Article 26 : Unless he has children, a Bro shall not wear his cell phone on a belt clip.
Article 27 : A Bro never removes his shirt in front of other Bros, unless at a resort pool or the beach.
Corollary: A Bro with a coat of fur on his back keeps that thing covered at all times, even at a resort pool or the beach. Sorry, Bro.
Article 28 : A Bro will, in timely manner, alert his Bro to the existence of a girl fight.
A Bro must, in timely manner, communicate the possibility of fisticuffs between two humans of the female variety (henceforth "girl fight"), in an effort to make possible and probable that another Bro or Bros can partake in observation. A "timely manner" is open to interpretation based on the initial Bro's viewing and processing of the potential feminine conflagration. Said Bro must use any and all methods of media distribution at his disposal, including but not limited to: telecommunications, elbow nudging, carrier pigeons, fiber optics, shouting, postcards, and telepathy. If an informed Bro is unable to witness the girl fight firsthand, the spotter Bro is responsible for documenting and relating details of the girl fight via pictures, video, or, barring any other reasonable method, interpretive dance and/or pantomime.
Article 29 : If two Bros decide to catch a movie together, they may not attend a screening that begins after 4:40 PM. Also, despite the cost of savings, they shall not split a tub of popcorn, choosing instead to procure individual bags.
Article 30 : A Bro doesn't comparison shop.
Article 32 : A Bro doesn't allow another Bro to get married until he's at least thirty.
Article 33 : When in a public restroom, a Bro (1) stares straight ahead when using the urinal; (2) makes the obligatory comment, "What is this a chicks' restroom?" if there are more than two dudes waiting to pee; and (3) attempts to shoot his used paper towel into the trash can like a basketball... rebounding is optional.
Article 34 : Bros cannot make eye contact during a devil's threeway. (2 dudes)
Article 35 : A Bro never rents a chick flick.
Article 36 : When questioned in the company of women, a Bro alas decries fake breasts.
When in conversation with a woman, fake breasts may arise, but not in the way that you'd like. It's not uncommon for a woman to deftly use trick questions in order to probe a Bro's real thoughts on the subject of breast augmentation. And don't be fooled into thinking your prepared speech on the beauty of the natural human form can get you out of it.

Article 37 : A Bro is under no obligation to open a door for anyone. If a women insist on having their own professional basketball league, then they can open their own doors. Honestly, they're not that heavy.
Article 38 : Even in a fight to the death, a Bro never punches another Bro in the groin.
Article 39 : When a Bro gets a chick's number, he waits at least ninety-six hours before calling her.
SIDE-BRO:
ASK Uncle Barney
Q: I'm confused- if a woman gives me her phone number, doesn't that mean she wants me to call her? Why do i have to wait so long?
A: Broflation- an unreasonable increase in female expectations about how Bros should act. you call a woman the next day, and soon enough, women everywhere will expect guys to call them the next day. Before you know it, Bros the world over will find themselves trapped in relationships, and all because you couldn't wait ninety-six little hours.
Q: Okay, I've waited ninety-six hours. When's the best time of day to call ?
A: Cal during the middle of the day. You'll have a better chance of catching her voice mail, which ultimately means less conversation. With any luck you'll be able to set something up without ever having to talk to her. Note: Never call after 9 PM-- late-night phone calls are the province of the booty call, and only the booty call. See Article 92 for further elaboration.
Q: I've always heard you wait three days? Why does the Bro Code specify four?
A: If you've always heard that a bro should wait three days before calling, you can bet that women have, too. By waiting an extra day, you can make the chick feel special.

Article 40 : Should a Bro become stricken with engagement, his Bros shall stage an intervention and attempt to heal him. this is more commonly known as "a bachelor party."
Article 41 : A Bro never cries.
EXCEPTIONS: Watching Field of Dreams, E.T., or a sports legend retire.*
*Applies only to the first time he retires.
*Applies only to the first time he retires.
Article 43 : A Bro loves his country, unless that country isn't America.
Article 44 : A Bro never applies sunscreen to another Bro.
EXCEPTION: If the Bros are within 7 degrees latitude of the equator.
Article 45 : A Bro never wears jeans to a strip club.
WHY A BRO NEVER WEARS JEANS TO A STRIP CLUB
1. Cloth pockets are roomier and more elastic, allowing for thicker wads of cash.
2. Denim clashes with a club's leopard, zebra, or other safari animal motif.
3. One word, two syllables, three hours in the ER: Zipper.
4.It's a performance, and deserves respect. these erotic dancers have practiced tirelessly on a technically demanding piece of choreographed art. Would you wear dungarees t a ballet?*
5. You don't feel it as much on your kazoo.
*Trick question. Bros don't watch ballet.

Article 46 : If a Bro is seated next to some dude who's stuck in the middle seat on an airplane, he shall yield him all of their shared armrest, unless the dude has (a) taken his shoes off, (b) is snoring, (c) makes the bro get up more than once to use the lavatory, or (d) purchased headphones after they announced the on-flight movie is 27 Dresses. See Article 35.
Article 47 : A Bro never wears pink. Not even in Europe.
Article 48 : A Bro never publicly reveals how many chicks he's banged.
COROLLARY: A Bro never reveals how many chicks another Bro has banged.
When a chick meets a Bro there are three things she wants to know:
1. How much money does he make?
2. Is he shorter than her?
3. How many chicks has he banged?
Eventually, she will figure out the first two, but a bro never answers the third question. If, however, a bro feels compelled to answer (i.e., sex is being withheld until he supplies a tally), he can calculate an acceptable number using the following formula:
HOW MANY CHICK IS IT SAFE FOR A BRO TO SAY HE'S BANGED?
n= (a/10 + s) + 5
n= number of chicks
a= Bro's age
s= inquiring chick's slut factor (1=nun, 10 former nun)

Article 49 : When asked, "Do you need some help?" a Bro shall automatically respond, "i got it," whether or not he's actually got it.
EXCEPTIONS: Carrying an expensive TV, parallel parking an expensive car, loading an expensive TV into an expensive car.
Article 50 : If a Bro should accidentally strike another Bro's undercarriage with his arm while walking, both Bros silently agree to continue on as if it never happened.
Article 51 : A Bro checks out another Bro's blind date and reports back with a thumbs-up or thumbs-down.
If you can't get a bro to scope out your blind date beforehand, there is a way to at least learn how promiscuous she'll be–– have her choose the date venue.

Article 52 : A Bro is not required to remember another Bro's birthday, though a phone call every now and again probably wouldn't kill him.
Article 53 : Even in a drought, a Bro flushes twice.
Article 54 : A Bro is required to go out with his Bros on St. Patty's day and other official Bro holidays, including Halloween, New Year's Eve, and Desperation Day (February 13).
BROETRY CORNER
There was a young lass from Killarney,
Who promised a gentleman named Arnie,
That she only was his,
Though a fat lie this is,
'Cause last night she was screaming "O'Barney".
I was in love with a chick named pam,
Who showed me pics of her fam,
Pretty cute cat,
But her mom was fat,
So i dumped her that night on the tram.

Article 55 : Even in an emergency that requires a tourniquet, a bro never borrows from or lends clothes to another Bro.
Article 56 : A Bro is required to alert another bro if the Bro/Chick ration at a party falls below 1:1. However, to Avoid Broflation, a bro is only allowed to alert one Bro. Further, a Bro may not speculate on the anticipated Bro/Chick Ration of a party or venue without first disclosing the present-time observed ratio.
Article 57 : A Bro never reveals the score of a sporting event to another Bro unless that bro has thrice confirmed he wants to hear it.
Article 58 : A bro doesn't grow a mustache.
Exception: When shaving, it's more than okay for a Bro to keep the whiskers around hes mouth untill the end so that he might temporarily experiment with different facial hair configurations.
Exception : Tom Selleck.
Exception : Tom Selleck.
Article 59 : A Bro must always post bail for another Bro, unless its out of state or, like, crazy expensive.
WHEN BAIL IS CRAZY EXPENSIVE?
Crazy Expensive Bail > (Years You've Been Bros) x $100
Crazy Expensive Bail > (Years You've Been Bros) x $100
Article 60 : A Bro shall honor thy father and mother, for they were once Bro and Chick. However, a Bro never thinks of them in that capacity.
Article 61 : If a bro, for whatever reason, becomes aware of another Bro's anniversary with a chick, he shall endeavor to make that information available tho his Bro, regardless of whether he thinks is Bro already knows.
Chicks seem to think annual events other than Mardi Gras, the NFL Draft, and the day the swimsuit edition comes out are worthy of celebration. I don't understand why, either, but i do know if become involved with a woman for more than the occasional toss in the hay (which is expressly not advised), you'll need to be able to recall certain days of the year with relative accuracy.
Article 62 : In the event that two Bros lock on to the same target, the Bro who calls dibs first has dibs. If they both call dibs at the same time, the Bro who counts aloud to ten the fastest has dibs. If both arrive at the number ten at the same time, the Bro who brought the last round of drinks has dibs. If they haven't purchased drinks yet, the taller of the two Bros has dibs. If they're the same height, the Bro with the longer dry spell has dibs. Should the dry spells be of equal length, a game of discreet Broshambo* shall determine dibs, provided the chick is still there.
*Rock, paper, scissors for Bros.
THE BROHAM CREED
As Brohams, we pledge our allegiance to one another. Through the brightest days and the darkest nights, we shall walk together. In sickness and in health, we shall party hard. All Brohams are made equal and shall be treated as such.
This is the code of the Brohams.
