- No, no. This is definitely what the world needs. There a millions of us
- out here trying to deal with what's dubiously known as "the fairer sex"
- who are constantly faced with the question "What the fuck did I do NOW??"
-
- Clearly what is needed is a points sheet. Two points for holding doors,
- three points for not swearing for the entire evening, sixty-three points
- for getting whatever it was she wanted without having to ask (yes, we
- ARE supposed to be telepathic, I'm pretty sure of that one).
-
- Naturally there'd be negative points for coming home blind drunk,
- getting into bed without warming your feet first, not shaving, and
- eyeing the boobs on the blonde next door.
-
- With this kind of system, women could be required to carry their own
- personal scorecard and we'd all know what the hell we were about. If our
- point scores got dangerously near zero, they'd be permitted to stage a
- walkout, go on a sex strike, or sit in a dignified silence spitting out
- the word "nothing!" when asked "what's wrong?".
-
- I can see the flaw in this system though. The little darlings are not,
- and never have been, consistent. One day you can be dragged back home
- and have your clothes torn of for a marathon session of bouncy-bouncy
- and the very next day the same person will be in a bad mood because "all
- you want is sex..."
-
- I'm telling you, they don't think like normal people...
