Hi, Hugh,
Yup, they were right. A woman (that's me) read this, thought it was
hilarious and got an *enornous* laugh out of it.
I would comment and ask for further negotiation about rule number 1, oh,
yeah, the number one that has to do with the toilet seat. This is not only a
matter of who needs it where to take care of beeswax. There is an aesthetic
component here: up is ugly, down is prettier. But I guess the presence of
the words "aesthetic" and "prettier" relegates this to the girls' list!
Thanks for the laugh!
Alice

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's
