Everyone's life is governed by an internal code of conduct. Some call it morality. Others call it religion. But Bros in the know call this holy grail the Bro Code.

Historically a spoken tradition passed from one generation to the next, the official code of conduct for Bros appears in its published form for the first time ever. By upholding the tenets of this sacred and legendary document, any dude can learn to achieve Bro-dom.

INTRODUCTION

Whether we know it or not, each of us lives a life governed by an internalized code of conduct. Some call it morality. Others call it religion. We call it "the Bro Code."

For centuries men have attempted to follow this code with no universal understanding of what such an arrangement meant:

Is it okey to hug a Bro?*
If I'm invited to a Bro's wedding, do I really have to bring a gift?**
Can I sleep with a Bro's sister or mother or both?***

* Never
** Nope
*** Dude! Come on.

Barney Stinson has recorded the rules of social decorum the Bros have practiced since the dawn of man . . . if not before. The Bro Code previously existed only as an oral tradition (heh), so Barney has journeyed the globe to piece together and transcribe the scattered fragments of the Bro Code, pausing only to flesh it out himself (double heh). While not intending to write a "Guide to Being a Bro," if men should treat it as such and pass this compendium of knowledge from one generation to the next, he has little doubt it would bring a tear to his eye. But not out of it. That would be a violation of Article 41: A Bro never cries.

It is Barney's hope that, with better understanding of the Bro Code, Bros over the world can put aside their differences and strengthen the bonds of brotherhood. It is then, and only then, that we might work together as one to accomplish perhaps the most important challenge society faces - getting laid.

Before dismissing this pursuit as crass and ignoble, consider this postulate: without the sport inherent in trying to bang chicks, would men willingly have sex for sole purpose of producing smelly, screaming babies?*

* Of course not.

Centuries from now, when a Bro applies the rudiments of the Bro Code to score a three-boobed future chick, the only thanks Barney will need is the knowledge that he -in whatever small capacity- Bro'd him out . . . although if he could figure out how to bring him back to life, that would be pretty awesome, too.

WHAT IS A BRO?

You've probably heard the word "Bro" used liberally at your local bar or gym. Perhaps you've seen it recklessly confused with "dude" or "guy" in an adverturethemed soft-drink commercial. Maybe even you yourself have unwittingly tossed out a "Bro" when asking a stranger for the time. But important distinction must be drawn: just because a guy is a dude, doesn't mean that dude is a Bro.

Q: What is a Bro?
A: A Bro is a person who would give you the shirt off his back when he doesn't want to wear it anymore. A Bro is a person who will bend over backwards to help you bend someone else over backwards. In short, a Bro is a lifelong companion you can trust will always be there for you, unless he's got something else going on.

Q: Who is a Bro?
A: Your mailman is a Bro, your father was once a Bro, and the boy who mows your lawn represents the Bro of tomorrow, but that doesn’t make him your Bro. When someone has faithfully upheld one or more of the codes in the Bro Code, then you may consider him your Bro. WARNING: Exercise caution when bringing home a hot chick - your brother may or may not be your Bro.

Q: Can only dudes be Bros?
A: You don’t need to be a guy to be somebody’s Bro, provided you uphold the moral values contained within this sacred canon. When a woman sets a guy up with her busty friend, she’s acting as a Bro. And if she sets him up with other hot friends after he slept with the first one and never called her again, then she’s officially his Bro.

BROCABULARY

As you scroll through The Bro Code, you may come across some words and terms you’ve never seen before. Many have been boldfaced and placed in the “Glossary” section so you can familiarize yourself with BRONACULAR.

While Bros are always encouraged to spread the truth of the Bro Code, they are also cautioned against overusing “Bro.” Such BROLIFERATION cheapens the important mission of the Bro Code and, nearly as important, makes you sound stupid.
