Now go forth and be legendary.

So find a copy. Pour a glass of scotch (neat). Put on your finest three-piece. And memorize the Pledge of the Bro:

By: A Loyal Disciple of the Suit

It is a satire of toxic masculinity that somehow becomes a genuine guide to loyalty. You read it for the jokes, but you stay for the strange, warm feeling that maybe, just maybe, having a code of honor (even a ridiculous one) is better than having no code at all. And then there is The Playbook . Oh, The Playbook .

If The Bro Code is the Constitution, The Playbook is the tactical nuclear launch code. This is the book Barney uses to "acquire" telephone numbers and "close the deal." It is a collection of cons, scams, and psychological illusions designed to make a woman fall for a fictional character you are pretending to be.

But should you read these books?

"I will be awesome. I will never abandon my bros. I will always suit up."
