three day rule

The "three day rule" is an outdated piece of dating technology popularized by such films as "Swingers." It is a seemingly sensible yet often unrealistic tactic.

The "three day rule" is a rule to prevent a man from appearing desperate or needy after attaining a girl's phone number that he (just) met. Following this rule, you are to wait 3 days before calling in order to create suspense and appear non-needy.

The truth is, it is far better to call sooner but to make shorter calls. This way you slowly but surely integrate yourself into the girl's life, and by ENDING THE CALLS YOURSELF instead of waiting for conversation to dry out, you eliminate any signs of desperation. If you wait 3 days, you may have lost emotional momentum and it may be harder for her to recall the attraction she felt, depending on how well you did when you first met!

A far better tactic to create suspense, for example, would be to send a text message instead telling the girl you will call her at 4:21 on Tuesday (or some other EXACT time), but actually call her at 4:30 that day.

None of this is to say the "three day rule" is completely wrong; however, it should definitely not be followed dogmatically.
Hey man, have you called Clarisse?

No, I'm using the three day rule. I don't want to seem desperate.

How is calling a girl desperate? You don't have to ask her on a date on your first call, you know! Just tell her something cool happened, chat briefly, then say you've gotta go and will talk later.

Are you sure? The three day rule is supposed to work on everyone.

Positive. Then on your next call in the next few days, invite her along somewhere if you want.

Rule of New Londons

"If one has New Londons fries, one must share New Londons fries. Someday you will be without them, and, because of this rule, you can help yourself to some of the deliciousness, just as others have helped themselves to yours."
~Moses, "The Old Testament" Deleted Scenes

When an aquaintance has a serving of delicious New Londons fries, this law can be utilized. The Moocher must first declare that he/she is taking some fries under the Rule of New Londons. The owner of the fries has no choice but to comply, for they know that they have mooched in the past and will mooch in the future.
"Dude, you're so envious, I have fries and you don't!"
"I hereby enact the Rule of New Londons. Fork some over."
"Dammit dude, fine, here ya go..."

Rule 34 of Art

If it exists; there is clip art of it.
Rule 34 of Art is a generally accepted internet rule that states that shitty clip art exists for any conceivable subject.

Additionally, the rule itself has reasonable limitations and you cannot be too specific on the content of the item in question.

Go ahead Google, "(any noun) clip art".
