Told the wife just after Sally opined that we'd never have moved out of the g-d grass huts if mothers ruled the world.

Got a Look in reply, but there wasn't much heat to it.

I ALMOST sort of resent that, except for #3. If I was in charge, I know the first deadbeat dad I'd send.
Fo' reals yo.

And nobody would blow anything up on the 28th day, as long as you people remember to shut the hell up and stop breathing so damn loud.

:)

I figure I can manipulate stereotypes as least as well as those Hollywood sorts. :)

Was just going to say the same thing about #3, before saw the comments.

I have now a perfect illustration for when I'll be called a bitter old woman: gee, you want to see a real one? Go look at Sally!

Man. Boniva's got some serious side effects.

I heard there's already a place for deadbeat dads. Point 12 out at Draper Lake, bring your own cement block and chain.

I've had this funny little theory for a long time. I feel free to express it here, somehow, to wit:

There is a reason that men are put in charge of wars: We know when to quit; we know when the other side has had enough, mostly. We learnt it playing football.

If a woman was put in charge of wars, the final order would be: "We've won? Good, now wipe the rest of them out. Make sure you kill them all. We'll teach them a lesson, but good."

Women are good about finishing a job completely.

Just a theory...

Have you considered that if mothers ruled the world:

1. No one would go hungry.
2. We would all have excellent health care.
3. Pedophiliacs would soon be extinct.

You go, Sally!

Well, I certainly wouldn't mourn the pedophiles.

So, they bleeped her for saying "goddamn"? Really!? I thought the godless liberals had Hollywood all cordoned off. Mothers can rule the world for all care...so long as they're not goddamn language Nazis, too.

Spelling/pronounciation for the word "Dictionary" is changed after several boys start snickering everytime they hear the word.

Blame Janet Jackson and her "wardrobe malfunction"; the FCC is in one of its periodic don't-try-anything phases and probably won't clean up its act before the next Administration comes in, if then.

But I thought "fleeting expletives" were okay, per the FCC?

I blame FOX.

Oh...and why is it just "mothers?" I guess they have something special the rest of us women don't have.

To quote Patricia Heaton:

"I've actually become a more violent person since I became a mother. If someone came between me and my kids, they'd be dead meat. So I didn't agree with that particular statement."

I wonder if Sally's heard Joan Armatrading's If Women Ruled the World (I'm sure Thatcher and Meir never did):

No more war
No more hate
Women can fight
But talking's great
Behind your back
To your face
They'd rather talk
Than murder...

Apparently some people can't let beating a dead horse alone without setting up a straw man (or something like that). Or get a joke. Or see someone ridiculous as ridiculous. More the fools they.
