Wives' objections...kind of long...

[Angus MacSpey]

All the poor guy needs to do is reclaim his rightful place as head of the household. He should give her a big slap across the face, and a stern lecture: "B****! I wear the pants in this family! The skirts too! Now get your naked @$$ back in the kitchen!" Because, as we all know, while the modern woman claims to want a "sensitive new age guy," in reality, nothing could be farther from the truth.

All kidding aside, it's not usually wise to stick your nose into other people's business.

A story I heard once was about firefighters trying to keep civilians away from an extremely dangerous situation. Leave fires, bombs, and marriages to the pros.

Exactly. When I was on the Ambulance a call we hated more than anything else was a domestic violence call because even though we knew that the victim was probably injured, we couldn't go in until police secured the scene. It's never wise to go in unarmed when the abuser might have a weapon (although I do remember one time in PG County when "aggressive oxygen therapy" was used by an ambulance crew that went in without police - for those wondering, "agressive oxygen therapy" is when the entire oxygen cylinder is applied with a decen amount of force to the head or gut of the person attempting to attack the ambulance crew!)

Not a case to get involved with.

Now to my point, turning the question on its head: apart from their use by such people as miners, I consider jeans to be the most ugly and most unsuitable garment ever designed. Certainly when I become master of the universe they will be banned and wearers consigned to the scorpion pit!

My family and friends know of this personal foible, but do not bow the knee to my whims, byt the same token I do not try to enforce my views upon others, and that includes my family.

Which is I would suggest the way we should all live.
