Mine Was Not Advice I'd Follow

Captain Whitebread: Mindful, I'm not ticked off at you. I want you to know that. And if that works for you, great....

Oh, no prob at all, Cap'n. Mine was not advice I'd follow!

In fact, I trample all over the rules when it comes to dealing with the confusions that occur in man-woman communications. My marriage survives, despite or because I don't yield.

I've got in-law relations that the guys put up with the hysteria in silence, and I respect that, because their women just would not be gainsaid. N.B., those women are *not!* screwing around on their guys - they're just screwy. So, "yes, dear," for the sake of peace and the kids, works for them.

I have thought at times to suggest to single Morons that I know of a lovely young woman, quite amazing Moronette-level gal, with a certain, rare self-awareness to question her own Female Assumptions. But can you imagine having me for a father-in-law!?!?!

The saying goes, don' stick yer dik in crayz, but I believe you just can't escape the crayz. (And neither can the 'ettes.) It's just the degree-amount of crayz you can handle, and whether it's sufficiently moderated by sincerity and sanity. I'm lucky enough to know Milady-love will listen, even when she's sure I'm wrong. And every once in a long, long while, I might be!
