Don't sleep through English class (or do you know it as "Language Arts"?

That is fabulous!!

That's terrible! I sure hope this was early in the semester.

Since all the females failed English were they able to drop that English class and get into home economics or some form of culinary arts?

Well, this is gonna be fun.

PLAYBASEBALL, thank you for enlightening us. The male and the female mind can operate so differntly can't they.

Fungo, you are a rascal but, as Peggy Lee would say:

I'M A WOMAN....

I can wash out 44 pairs of socks and have 'em hangin out on the line
I can starch & iron 2 dozens shirts 'fore you can count from 1 to 9
I can scoop up a great big dipper full of lard from the drippins can
Throw it in the skillet, go out & do my shopping, be back before it melts in the pan
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again

I can rub & scrub this old house til it's shinin like a dime
Feed the baby, grease the car, & powder my face at the same time
Get all dressed up, go out and swing til 4 a.m. and then
Lay down at 5, jump up at 6, and start all over again
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again

If you come to me sickly you know I'm gonna make you well
If you come to me all hexed up you know I'm gonna break the spell
If you come to me hungry you know I'm gonna fill you full of grits
If it's lovin you're likin, I'll kiss you and give you the shiverin' fits
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again

I can stretch! a green black dollar bill from here to kindom come!
I can play the numbers pay the bills and still end up with some!
I got a twenty-dollar gold piece says there ain't nothing I can't do
I can make a dress out of a feed bag and I can make a man out of you
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, and that's all.

WHAT IS IT THAT MEN DO??????

Failed English? I do not think so.
Hmmm, what is it that men do Fungo, perhaps you could write a song...

I have to tip my hat to the women! They have struggled up through history supporting those that suppressed them. Instead of complaining and placing blame, they have looked to the future and pushed forward. Their resolve and hard work have paid off in my opinion. Today's political races are indicators of what women can do if they so desire. I also think the HSBBW is a good example of how women can intellectually "mix it up" with the best of 'em in the sports' world.

iheartbb, I could never find a song about men that compares to Peggy Lee's "I'm a Woman"! I do remember a poem from years ago that some girl used to quote that accurately describes the difference between men and women.

Women's faults are many,
But men have only TWO,
Everything they say,
And everything they do!

Playbaseball, I just emailed that to my boys HS english teacher. I think he will like it, but I hope my boys don't find out I sent it if he decides to use it in class! I don't know what this teacher did but somehow he has both of my HS sons in different english classes!!

Fungo, that's a cute one.
Now, I have to get back to greasing the car

Nice recovery, Fungo.

I was worried there for a minute that you weren't getting out of the ladies room alive.

Oh Fungo, you are so bad, you remind me of my hubby! He pretends to be a chauvinist but he is so doggone funny (most of the time) that I cannot get mad at him.

FO these ladies are special. They are intelligent and confident enough that my humor doesn't phase them. They know they can put me in my place in a heartbeat!!

MN-Mom, I occasionally step into to one of those other situations with my wife too. "Most of the time" can get you in trouble!!

Fungo, Fungo, Fungo......

That was about as smooth as the syrup on my Fall pumpkin pancakes.
Help yourself,...there's plenty warm on the stove.

I do admire the ladies....(baseball ladies)

You guys are so funny - gotta go fix up them bacon and beans for the men-folk are home!
