- Story time. A couple years ago, when I was still married, one of my students
- told me a joke. A woman met her husband at the door and breathed "make
- me feel like a woman." He said OK, pulled off all of his clothes, threw
- them on the floor and said "Now go do my laundry."
-
- I thought this was pretty good and told my husband when I went home.
- He got angry. He said it was sexist and anti-male, and as a sensitive
- New Age guy who would never do anything like that it pissed him off.
- We bickered a bit, and I ended up apologizing. Later that evening, he
- said "Hey, you didn't wash any of my socks last time you did laundry.
- How could you do laundry and miss all of my socks?" Me: "I didn't see
- any of your socks in your laundry, where did they get to?" Him: "They're
- in the laundry hamper where they should be." Me: "The laundry
- hamper? I didn't know you had put anything in the laundry hamper. I
- expected them to be on the floor with the rest of your clothes." I
- thought it was funny. He didn't.

- Bless your heart, Ed, any post that mentions white-chocolate brownies
- is an automatic 8.0 or better in my book. I've never eaten parsnips,
- but I'm willing to be convinced.
