From the mind of New York Times bestselling author Barney Stinson comes the ultimate companion to The Bro Code – a handy reference guide crafted for today's active Bro.
With new rules, inspirations, and wisdom, coupled with classics staples from the original Code, Bro on the Go is designed to quickly aid a busy Bro in any situation he might face – at the beach, on the job, at the game, or with the ladies. Plus, it looks good stuffed in your pocket.
Article 42: Upon greeting another Bro, a Bro may engage in a high five, a fist bump, or Bro hug, but never a full embrace.
Article 12: Bros do not share dessert.

Introduction
From the Disinfected Desk of Barney Stinson
Spider-Man's uncle once said, “With great power comes great responsibility,” but what the great philosopher really meant was, “With great power comes a never-ending string of dumbass questions.” In the year since selflessly bestowing The Bro Code upon humanity I have been inundated with letters, emails, texts – even a few stalker-level break-ins – from people in every corner of the globe, but mostly France.
Everyone wants to know three things:
Why haven't you been nominated for a Nobel Prize?
How can one person be so handsome, smart, popular, and handsome? (The “one
person” I'm referring to is you – Barney Stinson.)
The Bro Code is immensely entertaining, educational, and available via Fireside
Books/Simon & Schuster, but it offers only general guidelines about how to
live my life. What do I do when I'm at the office, going to the beach, or when
I'm supposed to be at the office but I'm at the beach? HELP!
I answer:
1. I couldn't possibly nominate myself for The Bro Code – they've repeatedly told me it's against the rules – but you can. Nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature are due January 31 and should be addressed to:
Nobel Committee for Literature
Swedish Academy
P.O. Box 2118
SE-103 13 Stockholm
Sweden
2. I don't know, but if you're a hot chick, perhaps
