BS: Help needed

Subject: Help needed
From: Morticia

I don't want to start an inter-gender war here, promise, but I am looking for a short, pithy and preferably funny statement about men, or to be more exact, derogatory to men to stitch into a sampler for a friend who is having man trouble right now....something on the lines of Q.How many men does it take to tile a bathroom? A. Two, if you slice them thinly enough.....but much shorter.

Quotations from women about women.......

Inside every older person is a younger person - wondering what the hell happened.

Cora Harvey Armstrong

The hardest years in life are those between ten and seventy.

Helen Hayes (at 73)

Whoever thought up the word "Mammogram"? Every time I hear it, I think I'm supposed to put my breast in an envelope and send it to someone.

-Jan King-

A male gynecologist is like an auto mechanic who never owned a car.

-Carrie Snow-

Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and you cry with your girlfriends.

-Laurie Kuslansky-

Old age ain't no place for sissies.

-Bette Davis-

A man's got to do what a man's got to do. A woman must do what he can't.

-Rhonda Hansome-

The phrase "working mother" is redundant.

-Jane Sellman-

Every time I close the door on reality it comes in through the windows.

-Jennifer Unlimited-

Whatever women must do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.

-Charlotte Whitton-

Thirty-five is when you finally get your head together and your body starts falling apart.

-Caryn Leschen-

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.

-Jennifer Unlimited-

If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.

-Catherine Aird-

When I was young, I was put in a school for retarded kids for two years before they realized I actually had a hearing loss. And they called ME slow!

-Kathy Buckley-

I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb . . and I'm also not blonde.

-Sue Grafton-

I'm not going to vacuum 'til Sears makes one you can ride on.

In politics, if you want anything said, ask a man--if you want anything done, ask a woman.

-Margaret Thatcher-

I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career.

-Gloria Steinem-

I never married, because there was no need. I have three pets at home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog that growls every morning, a parrot that swears all afternoon, and a cat that comes home late every night.

-Marie Corelli-

If men can run the world, why can't they stop wearing neckties? How intelligent is it to start the day by tying a noose around your neck?

I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house.

I usually do not engage in or condone male-bashing, but if you are looking for something to get her laughing when she needs to, I wish I still had this one poster. It showed a gingerbread man, and the caption was about these being better than men.... oh yeah, I forgot to mention, the head was bitten off on the gingerbread man. Maybe the caption was simply, "The Ideal Man."

8 Pints, that's priceless!

I think the real question in this case would be not "is he right or wrong", but rather, "is he right or left".

And just to strike a little balance..

The Difference Defined

"I can't conceive" she archly cried
"Wherein you men can longer pride
Yourselves from female rivals free.
For surely we have grown to be
Your peers in every human stride.
It is a truth that none dare hide;
Yet why you men will not agree
To recognize the new decree
I can't conceive.

"Now, entre nous, won't you confide
And tell me true, all jokes aside,
What difference the world can see
Between your manly self and me?"
"To tell you truly," he replied,
"I can't conceive."

-from Bawdy Ballads & Lusty Lyrics, edited by John Henry Johnson, copyright 1935 by Maxwell Droke, pub 1970 by Pocket Books.

Morticia, I don't mind you making jokes about men, but do you really think stitching them into a sampler is worth the trouble? How are you going to feel in a week or two when your friend has made up with her boyfriend (or starts looking for a new one) and hides your sampler in a drawer?

You see a lot of smart guys with dumb women, but you hardly ever see a smart woman with a dumb guy.

- Erica Jong-

Nice idea of Peter (Midchuck) to smuggle a single anti-women citation into a big set of anti-men. The line clearly implies (under realistic circumstances) that women are less smart than men on the average. It remains an open question whether Erica Jong thinks this is true or just doesn't understand the implications of what she writes.
