For most poor dumb brainwashed women marriage is the climatic experience. For men, marriage is a matter of efficeint logistics: the male gets his food, bed, laundry, TV, pussy, offspring and creature comforts all under one roof, where he doesn't have to dissipate his physic energy thinking about them too much. Then he is free to go out and fight the battles of liefe, which is what existence is all about. But for a woman, marriage is surrender Marriage is when a girl gives up the fight, walks off the battlefield and from then on, leaves the truly interesting and significant action to her husband, who has bargined to take care of her. What a sad, bum, deal. Women live longer than men because they haven't been living. Better blue-in-the-face dead of a heart attack at fifty than a healthy seventy-yr-old widow who hasn't had a piece of life's action since girlhood". - Tom Robbins "Even Cowgils get the Blues" Submitted by PARNELL@FWVA.SAIC.COM
