The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

Long-term relationship, in about an hour

Prompted by this Kathy Shaidle post, I read this Kathy Shaidle poem, and quoted this much of it at the office:

and Tracey said Besides, men are just like contact lenses
cause men can be hard
and men can be soft
but mostly they can just get lost

"And you can throw them away in two weeks," came the response.

Well, yes, I did laugh. (My apologies to the poet.)

Someone might say that women are like contact lenses: Needlessly high maintenance and only worth a damn when they're wet.

Of course, you understand that I myself would NEVER say such a thing. But, in response to such a gratuitous attack upon men, someone might.

Like that McGeehee guy. He's just the sort. Not me tho. Nope.

I have nothing but nice things to say about women. Their parallel parking makes us men look good. And they provide a market for our mad spider-killing skillz.

Their map-reading and direction-following skillz also make us men look like Deitiez.
