But damn funny. And given the potential consequences, and I have heard
this argument before from somebody who sleeps not a million miles from
me, how could you ladies even think about sitting before checking the
status of your equipment? Do we have to leave the car engine running
for you in case you fail to notice its not running and end up arriving
at work several decades late? Should we leave the front door open in
case you try to walk through it without noticing the large piece of
wood in the hole? Should we tell you when we've finished making love
in case you fail to notice that we've even started?

OK, strike the last one. Not a good example. But you know what I mean.


I will be producing an instructional video available at all good
outlets entitled "Potty training for women: how to spot a toilet seat
even when its not where you left it." I'm working on a catchier title,
maybe something like: "Don't sit in the ca-ca, mama" or "Shit! I've
fallen in the toilet again (and I can't get up)" or "How to spot the
painfully, bleedin' obvious without the help of a man." 

Hey, Lucy. If I were you I'd sue somebody for letting a thread with
your name on it take this sort of a turn. (Although given where it
started, this is actually an improvement).

Now isn't this better than a Monty Python thread? No it isn't. Yes it
is. No it isn't..........
