Quote from Barney in The Goat
Marshall: How can I help you as your lawyer? You didn't break any laws, did you? Robin knows you slept with her, doesn't she? Barney: I didn't break any state or federal laws, but I think I broke a much, much higher law. The Bro Code. Future Ted: [v.o.] For many years, we had heard Barney quote the Bro Code, a list of do's and don'ts for all bros. Some were basic. [flashback:] Barney: Bro Code article one: "Bros before hoes." Future Ted: Some were unbelievably complicated. Barney: Bro Code article 89: "The mom of a bro is always off limits, but the stepmom of a bro is fair game if she initiates it, and/or is wearing at least one a article of leopard print clothing." Future Ted: And some were just plain disturbing. Barney: Bro Code article 34: "Bros cannot make eye contact during a devil's three-way." Two dudes.
