There is a long, complex history of covens and loveslaves, and women in thongs.

Perhaps we should publish some Cliff notes. You game?

Well stated penni. I vociferate my affirmation of your manifesto in the strongest possible verbatims. People need to know when to take things behind closed cyberdoors at some postpubescent point in their lives. Otherwise such chest beating smacks of public displays intended to impress nonparticipants with their capabilities in soaring flights of derogatory. None of which impresses me too much.

My timing may be off as usual, but I couldn't turn up the perfect opportunity to point out the condition of my water dish.

FWIW, last night my husband emailed me a joke about a blonde and a lawyer. I think it's witty, and it doesn't make fun of either lawyers or blondes, IMHO.

<<The Blonde and the Lawyer

A lawyer and a blonde woman are sitting next to each other on a long flight
from LA to NY. The lawyer leans over to her and asks if she would like to
play a fun game. The blonde is tired and just wants to take a nap, so she
politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The
lawyer persists, saying that the game is really easy and a lot of fun.

He explains how the game works: "I ask you a question, and if you don't know
the answer, you pay me, and visa-versa."

Again, she politely declines and tries to get some sleep.

The lawyer figures that since his opponent is a blonde he will easily win the
match, so he makes another offer: "Okay, how about this "If you don't know
the answer you pay me only $5, but if I don't know the answer, I will pay you
$50."

This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring that there will be no end
to this torment unless she plays, she agrees to play the game.

The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to
the moon?"

The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches in to her purse, pulls out a
five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer. Now, it's the blonde's turn.

She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down
with four?"

The lawyer looks at her with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer
and searches all his references. He taps into the Airphone with his modem and
searches the Net and even the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends
E-mails to all his co-workers and friends he knows. All to no avail. After
over an hour, of searching for the answer he finally gives up. He wakes the
blonde and hands her $50. The blonde politely takes the $50 and turns away to
get back to sleep.

The lawyer, who is more than a little frustrated, wakes the blonde and
asks,"Well, so what IS the answer?"

Again without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer
$5, and goes back to sleep.>>
