Quote from Barney in The Broken Code
Ted: So you are mad about me and Robin holding hands. Barney: Of course I'm mad, Ted. Holding hands is like the fourth grade equivalent of banging. Well, in your case, 12th grade. Self-five. You broke the Bro Code. Ted: No, I did not. I only went to help Robin as a friend because you didn't show up. I did not break the Bro Code. Barney: It's in the text: "A bro shall not have a weird moment with another bro's fiancee." Ted: Well, too bad we're in Farhampton and can't actually check. Barney: I'm pleased to announce the Bro Code has replaced the Gideons' Bible at select hotels throughout the country.
