Hey guys ... just kidding about the oxygen ... finished reading New York Times columnist, Maureen Dowd's book "Are Men Necessary?" .... funny and witty ... and NOT (as title appears) particularly insulting to men ... not at all. She came to speak in Austin a few years ago and listening to her was well worth being squashed by the crowds (of both men and women). FF - time to cover NANO. Happy trading, C.C. :P

I was watching a movie last night.. great oldie called "300 spartans".

This old goat herder turns to this soldier and says...

"How can one understand the gods? They make such beautiful young women.. and then turn them into wives".

:lol: And the Gods make such beautiful men and turn them into toilet seat amnesiacs. My favourite Seinfeld line: "Do you want to know what men are really thinking ... well do you? ... cause I'll tell you .... I'll tell you what men are thinking .... ...nothin."

Agree, but suggest that men's precoccupation with sex is a reptilian reflex ... like a homing pigeon ... or radar screen ... always attempting to detect the next target. :P

Dowd has found men very necessary for without her "relationships" with them, few would know her name.

Agree ... and good for her. :cheer:

Ever notice how many women forget to raise the seat when they are finished?

Poor training I guess. :(
