Men Who Should Be Single (But Somehow Still Aren’t)

Girlfriends and wives put up with a whole lot of chaos. When you put the ring on your finger, you basically sign up for years and years of damage control at the low low cost of only half your sanity.

I'm sorry, what exactly did this guy plan on eating for the next week—just ice cream?

I've heard of people blowing their grocery budgets on organic and grass-fed beef, but 50 pints of ice cream is a new one for me.
