Guest Jim, there's an old folk song called "The Wee Cooper Of Fife" which I learned from Burl Ives back in my early folk-listening days. It's supposed to be funny, because the hardworking cooper ha' got 'im a gentle wife -- who wad na' card or spin "for the shamin' o' her gentle kin -- and he won't thrash her (for her gentle kin), but he puts a sheepskin over her back and beats that.   It's not a matter of political correctness, but with my present awareness of the prevalence of domestic abuse, I won't sing something that suggests I think it's cute to beat your wife by first covering her with a sheepskin -- even if she is a brat.
Would I sing it if I had a good reason to? You bet. But I don't. :)

And Liz the Squeak, you said "Could be worse Genie - could be 'nobody wants you when you're old and gay...'"

Actually, in many of the retirement communities if you're a woman nobody wants you when you're old UNLESS you're gay! (All the men are dead.) ;-D
