I've usually thought the old line, "Can't you take a joke?" was hideous. As a boss, I used to take it as my business to land on guys who used to justify tgheir anti-feminist "fun". As for the second line: "And what isn't both anyway?" Lot's of things aren't both. I have a friend right now in Sloan Kettering, the New York cancer hospital. We are expecting a call at any hour from his wife telling us he has died. There will be no element whatever of the "comic" in that call. ************** One site keeps you connected to all your email: AOL Mail, Gmail, and Yahoo Mail. Try it now.
