No, not Mandates.
Man Dates.
Pretty funny stuff, IMO. Turns out I've been on these "dates" before, but I wasn't uncomfortable about it. If a guy is really your friend, it doesn't matter where you meet or eat or go talk. Then again, I'm a big, hairy, manly man, so what do I know?

As for homophobic-type fears, I did pull a good prank on my best friend a few years ago. We were out driving around one night and decided to stop and get something to drink at a convenience mart. I made it to the checkout first; he was next in line. After I paid for my soda, I looked back at him, and, in my best lispy voice, loudly said, "Don't forget the condoms, honey!"
I barely made it out the door without cracking up. If our wives hadn't been in the car, he probably would have made me walk home.
