I'll Have The Misogyny Au Gratin, Please | Tragic Comedy

We were having dinner with my nephew the other night and the conversation steered toward his numerous relationships.

He replied with that standard chauvinistic response, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?"

My wife looked at him directly and retorted, "Yeah, why buy the whole pig for just a little sausage?"

My nephew stammered, "Exactly! I agree. Wait a minute..."

That's my girl.

Oprah Is Immortal

I was talking to Brenda about weight recently - about how hers is creeping up and mine is creeping down.
