Survivor!


Mike would win this hands down!

Suggestion for the next "Survivor" Series
Six married men will be dropped on an island for six weeks; each manwill have one car and 3 kids.
Each kid will play two sports and either take music or dance classes.
There is no fast food. Each man must takecare of his 3 kids; keep his assigned house clean, correct all homework,complete science projects, cook, do laundry, and pay a list of "pretend"bills with not enough money. In addition, each man will have to budget in money for groceries each week. Each man must remember the birthdays of all their friends and relatives,and send cards out on time. He must also make cookies or cupcakes for school functions, find babysitters for one grown-up" event per month,and each December "make Christmas happen". Each man must also take each child to a doctor's appointment, a dentist appointment and a haircut appointment! He must make one unscheduled and inconvenient visit per child to the Urgent Care(weekend, evening, on a holiday or right when they're about to leave for vacation). They must clean up after their sick children at 2:00 a.m. and then spend the remainder of the day tending to that child and waiting on them hand and foot until they are better, remembering to send in absentee information to school and get homework assignments. Each man will be responsible for decorating his own assigned house,planting flowers outside and keeping it presentable at all times. The men will only have access to television when the kids are asleep, kitchen cleaned up and all chores, including laundry, are done.
There is only one TV among them, and a remote with dead batteries. Each Father will be required to know all of the words to every stupid song that comes on TV and the name of each and every character on cartoons.
The men must shave their legs, wear makeup daily, which they will applyto themselves either while driving or making three lunches. Each man must adorn himself with jewelry, wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes, keep their nails polished and eyebrows groomed. The men must try to get through each day without snot, spit-up or barf on their clothing.
During one of the six weeks, the men will have to endure severe abdominal cramps, back aches, and have extreme, unexplained mood swings but never once complain or slow down from other duties. They must explain what a tampon is when the 6-yr old boy finds it around.
Each man will have to make an Indian hut model with six toothpicks, a tortilla and one marker; and get a 4 year old to eat a serving of peas. They must attend weekly school meetings, church, and find time at leastonce to spend the afternoon at the park or a similar setting.
He will need to read a book and then pray with the children each night without falling asleep, and then feed them, dress them, brush their teeth and comb their hair each morning by 7:00. They must leave the home with no food on their face or clothes.
A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father will be required to know all of the following information: each child's birthday, height, weight, shoe size, clothes size and doctor's name and phone number. He also must know each child's weight at birth, length,time of birth, and length of labor, each child's favorite color, middle name, favorite snack, favorite song, favorite drink, favorite toy, biggest fear and what they want to be when they grow up.
Each father must have a loving, age appropriate reply to, "You're not the boss of me". The kids vote them off the island based on performance. The last manwins only if.......he still has enough energy to be intimate with hisspouse at a moment's notice. If the last man does win, he can play the game over and over and over again for the next 18-25 yrs...eventuall yearning the right to be called Mother!
