In our society, girls still get the impression that men as a whole are better than women. After all, they’re the presidents and the CEOs and even the supervisors.

When there’s a train wreck or something, survivors often attribute their good fortune to God. They walk around saying “It’s a miracle! Praise the Lord!”

That happened to me once. I was driving back from a business meeting with my pompous little shit of a supervisor and we got into a three-car pile-up. He was […]

How a Dog is Not Like a Kid

How a Dog is Not Like a Kid

1. A dog is generally kept on a leash when in public.

2. When a kid gets tired in public, it whines and tugs and whines – instead of quietly curling up and falling asleep. At your feet.

3. A dog can be ‘toilet-trained’ in a week […]
