Subject: BS: Wes Ginny Slide Rule Breakthrough!!!
From: Bobert
Date: 03 Dec 07 - 08:09 PM

Stop the presses!!!

The WGSR has informed me that it is very close to a major breakthrough on locating the exact problem with the wiring schematic in women!!!

Okay, it's a little tenative and the WGSR needs to run thru some processes before we go public but it sounds real promising...

This may explain, among others, why:

1. Womenz get to the check out counter and seem amazed that they are expected to actually pay for stuff that the cashier has just run thru the3 scanner and bagged up...

2. It is that womenz think that the the toilet seat should be left down...

3. Womenz think that asking fir directions from perfect strangers, who may be lost themselves, is smart...

4. Womenz pour themselves into nice dresses and then ask their mates how they look and the mate says, "Great" and then the womanz stomp off to the bedroom, slam and lock the bedroom door and the mate gets to sleep on the couch fir 3 days...

5. It is that womenz always think they is right about everything, includin' stuff, like carburators, that they don't know jack about...

Those are just a few examples that all men can readilly relate to but there thousands of 'um out there and the WGSR is close to nailin' this one...

Stay posted, man... There is hope...

Maybe they'll just come up with a pill fir them... No, not that pill... A new one...

Look, I admit I don't know Jack about carebureators...or howeverthehellitsspelt.

Ref the Toilet Seat: The ONLY reason I'd like it down (well, there are 2 reasons)
1) I don't fall in at 3 AM in the dark.
2) The splatters don't show if the seat is down.

I NEVER ask how I look. I look in the mirror. It usually tells me more than I want to know anyway.

Now Bobert. When are you gonna figure out that Wes Ginny slide rule of yorn was invented by a woman, and ain't likely to ever deliver up the secret that you seek?

Yep. It's true.

There was this hillbilly woman lived out on Poca River with too much to do to answer silly questions all day. Well, she finally got tired of her man askin' her what made her tick. So she come up with the Wes Ginny slide rule. Next time he asked, she handed her new contraption to him and said, "Go figure." She reckoned that would keep him too busy to keep asking' silly questions and seekin' answers where mystery ought to prevail. it worked.

Nothing pleases a womanz more than a man who stays busy. Twarn't long before every woman in the holler had given her man one of those Wes Ginny slide rules. Now the menz is all busy, and the womenz is all happy.

I wouldn't lie to you about this, Bobertz. You is too good a friend.

What I've noticed about older women is that they tend to worry, fret, and go on and on about trivial things that simply don't matter and are a complete waste of everybody else's time. As soon as one of those trivial things is taken care of, they find another one, and the whole process starts over again.

I don't find it's a problem with younger women, by the way...just those past a certain age (which varies a bit, depending on the individual). As their search for romance and partnership dwindles with the onset of middle age, their penchant for finding highly unlikely things to worry about increases by leaps and bounds. Perhaps there is a connection there? ;-) Romance, after all, involves risk...whereas the kind of arbitrary and chronic worrying I am talking about is an attempt to avoid ALL possible risk, not only for oneself but for everyone whom one knows and is connected with.

Then too, they expect terrible things to happen unless a multitude of elaborate precautions are engaged in whenever one goes out of the door (or even the room!) for any reason whatsoever. If one is travelling by car or airplane (!), the number of elaborate precautions required to soothe the concerned older woman goes up exponentially.

They expect you to do their worrying for them and to govern your own life according to the dictates of their fevered and paranoid imagination. It's bloody annoying! When they finally shuffle off this mortal coil they will have wasted so much time worrying about disasters that might have happened but never did that if the mental energy they spent had been collected for a more useful purpose, such as generating electricity, we could probably have solved world hunger, ended war, and created a global paradise for all by now!!!!!

It is these very women who stand in the way of peace, serenity, and progress in this world. They are the grit in life's vaseline, the stone hiding in the bowl of rice, the monkey wrench jammed in the machine of existence, and they MUST BE STOPPED!!! ;-)

Meanwhile, in what can only be caused by telepathic synchronicity of the first order, the Onion reports this:

Man Finally Put In Charge Of Struggling Feminist Movement

December 3, 2007 | Issue 43•49

   
WASHINGTON—After decades spent battling gender discrimination and inequality in the workplace, the feminist movement underwent a high-level shake-up last month, when 53-year-old management consultant Peter "Buck" McGowan took over as new chief of the worldwide initiative for women's rights.

McGowan, who now oversees the group's day-to-day operations, said he "couldn't be happier" to bring his ambition, experience, and no-nonsense attitude to his new role as the nation's top feminist.

"All the feminist movement needed to do was bring on someone who had the balls to do something about this glass ceiling business," said McGowan, who quickly closed the 23.5 percent gender wage gap by "making a few calls to the big boys upstairs." "In the world of gender identity and empowered female sexuality, it's all about who you know."

McGowan, who was selected from a pool of roughly 150 million candidates, made eliminating sexual harassment his first priority before working on securing reproductive rights for women in all 50 states, and promoting healthy body images through an influx of strong, independent female characters in TV, magazines, and film.

"It's about time," McGowan said upon returning from a golf game with several "network honchos" in which he brokered a deal to bring a variety of women's sports to prime-time television. "These ladies should have brought me on years ago."

McGowan claimed that one of the main reasons the movement enjoyed so little success in the past was that the previous management was often too timid and passive and should have been much more results-focused.

"You can't waste time pussyfooting around with protests and getting all emotional about a bunch of irrelevant details," McGowan said. "If you want to enjoy equal rights, you have to have a real man-to-man chat with the people in charge until you can hammer out some more equitable custody laws."

"And don't get me started on how disorganized and scatterbrained their old fundraising methods were," McGowan added. "Let's just say the movement never really had a head for numbers."

After McGowan successfully appointed three of his best men to lead Smith College's women's studies department and called in some favors to a number of powerful board chairmen to triple the number of female CEOs in Fortune 500 companies, analysts predicted that the feminist movement could achieve all of McGowan's goals by as early as 2009.

"With a charismatic, self-assured guy like Pete pulling the strings, we might even see a female elected president one of these days," said Nathan Roth, an analyst at the Cato Institute. "Finally, the feminist movement has a face that commands respect."

McGowan, however, said he didn't get into the business of women's rights for the praise.

"What these women were able to accomplish with the little manpower they had is very impressive," McGowan said. "I just bring a certain something to the table—I'm not sure what—that gave us that extra little push into complete female independence. I guess it just comes naturally."

But despite his modesty, McGowan continues to garner praise from those closest to the cause.

"The whole movement just seems more legitimate with Buck in charge," leading feminist Gloria Steinem said at a gala dinner Friday. "His drive, focus, and determination are truly remarkable. Mr. McGowan is a man with a plan."

Although he has not hinted at any future projects after all forms of gender discrimination are a thing of the past, McGowan has vehemently denied rumors that he will leave the feminist movement to head up the struggle for gay rights.

"The wife would kill me if I took on any more hours," McGowan said. "I'm sure those fellows know how that goes."

A male friend who was with her wanted to have the car towed back to town. She said, "No, that'll cost a fortune. I think I know what's wrong." The friend snorted derisively. But she got out and got under, "I was right," she said, as she crawled out from under the car. "And I can fix it myself. But we'll have to leave it here for now." The male friend was highly dubious. They managed to hook a ride back to town. Lotsa other skiers coming back from the pass.

The following Monday after work, she made a purchase from the service department of the foreign car dealer where she usually took the Alfa for service, got another friend to drive her back to her car parked off the side of the highway. She got under again and replaced a busted universal joint. Herself. Then she drove the Alfa back to town.

Nuthin' much purtier that a nice-lookin' woman dressed in her grubbies, with her hair all tousled and a smear of grease on her forhead.

My wife, Barbara, is a whiz at repairing leaky faucets. And a whole lot of things.

A simple cure for the insistence of leaving the toilet seat down is to cover the pan with cling-film, then lower the seat.

The Rules

The FEMALE always makes THE RULES.

THE RULES are subject to change without notice.

No MALE can possibly know all THE RULES.

If the FEMALE suspects the MALE to know all THE RULES
she must immediately change some or all of THE RULES.

The FEMALE is never wrong.

If the FEMALE is wrong, it is due to a misunderstanding which was
a direct result of something the MALE did or said wrong.

The MALE must apologise immediately for causing said misunderstanding.

The MALE must never change his mind
without the express written consent of the FEMALE.

The FEMALE has every right to be angry or upset at any time.

The MALE must remain calm at all times,
unless the FEMALE wants him to be angry and/or upset.

The MALE is expected to mind-read at all times.

The Man who doesn't abide by THE RULES
can't take the heat, lacks backbone, is a wimp.

Any attempt by the MALE to document THE RULES
could result in bodily harm.

If the FEMALE has P.M.S., all THE RULES may be null and void.

The FEMALE is ready when she is ready.

The MALE must be ready at all times.

Um, Bobert, I think I am the exception.

1. I usually have calculated how much it's gonna cost me by the time I reach the cashier and I usually have cash in hand by the time said cashier is done ringing me up.
2. Toilet lid has to be down in our abode, otherwise the stupid cat falls in. Not really a problem, except that she likes to sleep on my pillow...
3. Directions? I don't need no stinkin' directions! I can read a map!
4. I'm fashion-challenged. Jason has to tell me what looks good, so I know I don't need to ask if I look good.
5. Mmm...well, I know more about cars than my man, he knows more about literature and stuff.

I also hate shoe shopping.

Edith Ethel Frazier, Bobert. That was her name.   She was a Frazier ere she married, but she and her husband were not kin unless you went way back. She was one of the Frazier's Bottom Fraziers.   You know, over there on the Kanawha where the road comes down off of Red House Hill by the mouth of Armor Creek?   Her husband, Claude O. Frazier, was one of the Poca River Fraziers. His granddaddy owned that big farm that used to be there at the bridge over Poca River where Doc Bailey Rd. ran into Poca River Road. His granddaddy and her granddaddy were either 4th cousins or 2nd cousins twice removed. Can't quite recall which. So weren't no problem with these two Fraziers marring.

Anyway, it was her that came up with the Wes Ginny slide rule. I'm not sure of the date, but it had to have been after tie wire and elastic were invented. Of course, alder branches have been around for a long time.   

I can show you her grave sometime, if you want. It is in the Frazier family cemetery (the Frazier's Bottom Fraziers, that is), right there at the very top of Red House Ridge. You know how, if you're comin' from the Poca River end of Red House Rd, just after you cross the ridge and start heading down for the Kanawha, there is that big old barn hard by the road? When I was a teenager, you could still make out the "Chew Mail Pouch Tobacco" on the side facing the road. Remember? Anyways, look straight up the hill from the barn as you drive past, and you can make out the fence around the cemetery, there at almost the very top of the ridge. My cousin Hilda tells me women still stop along the road and walk up through the pasture to the cemetery to leave little tokens on Edith Ethel's gravestone, though not as often as they once did.   Myself, I ain't been out that road since I was in my mid-twenties. Randall was drivin' and Tom, having had a little too much beer and acid, climbed out the rear window of the car, over the roof, and onto the hood. But that's a whole nuther story for a whole nuther time.

So, as I was about to say, Edith Ethel is more or less the sacred saint of the Secret and Sacred Order of the Ladies of the Hills and Hollers. Once a year, usually the day deer season opens, since all the men are gone then, we gather for our annual ceremony at some one's home, usually consisting of a combined Tupper Ware and Lingerie Party, followed by a male stripper.   I have heard that in tonier areas, like South Hills up in Charleston, they are more likely to have Mary Kaye and Pampered Chef, but that is an unconfirmed rumor. Almost always, after a few bottles of Chablis, (Pinot Grigio in South Hills), some one starts channeling Edith Ethel.   I thought it was only at these annual ceremonies that she spoke through one or more of her intermediaries.

That is why I was so surprised, and more than a little scared to realize she was sharing space in my brain last night. It was clear she had somehow got wind of this thread, and was wanting be to convey a message to you, Bobert.   "I want you to convey a message to that skinny-assed hillbilly of the male persuasion who started this thread. The one with the Wes Ginny slide rule who is using the slide rule figure out how womenz are wired" she just kept repeating over and over again.

I was afraid. Afraid for you, my dear friend, and I tried to push her out of my mind. I knew if I received the message I was honor bound to deliver it. I wrestled with her most of the night, but at last she prevailed. I am ashamed I did not trust her from the start. There was clearly nothing for you or I to fear.

What she said was, "Tell him to go figger."
