If you work too hard, there's never any time <br><br> for her; if you don't work enough, you're a good-for-nothing bum. If she <br><br> has a boring repetitive job with low pay, this is exploitation; if you <br><br> have a boring repetitive job with low pay, you should get off your lazy <br><br> behind and find something better. If you get a promotion ahead of her, <br><br> that is favoritism; if she gets a job ahead of you, it's equal <br><br> opportunity. If you mention how nice she looks, it's sexual harassment; <br><br> if you keep quiet it's male indifference. If you cry, you're a wimp; if <br><br> you don't, you're an insensitive bastard. If you make a decision without <br><br> consulting her, you're a chauvinist; if she makes a decision without <br><br> consulting you, she's a liberated woman. If you ask her to do something <br><br> she doesn't enjoy, that's domination; if she asks you, it's a favor. If <br><br> you appreciate the female form and frilly underwear, you're a pervert; <br><br> if you don't, you're gay. If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep <br><br> in shape, you're sexist; if you don't, you're unromantic. If you try to <br><br> keep yourself in shape, you're vain; if you don't, you're a slob. If you <br><br> buy her flowers, you're after something; if you don't, you're not <br><br> thoughtful. If you're proud of your achievements, you're full of <br><br> yourself; if you aren't you're not ambitious. If she has a headache, <br><br> she's tired; if you have a headache, you don't love her anymore. <br><br>  <br><br> Men die first because they want to. <br>  <br> \n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"The age old question has always been why do men die first?

They are still stuck in 1952, or maybe that is 1492. Their brains must have been shipped over in Columbus' boat in jars of alchohol, then implanted into the cadavers of local pirates who had been killed in battles with the Indians. Rumor has it that the pirates suffered a severe drop in IQ after these implants.","author":"Meyer London","parent_id":96022,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-12-03 17:08:52","modified":"2003-12-03 17:08:52","fileurl":""}]}
