    GP> Girl asks her besty, "So you just had a baby?"   
    GP> "Yup."   
    GP> Is it a boy or girl?   
    GP> "Duh! How can I know? It's not old enough to tell me yet!"   
      
    GP> *facepalm*   
      
     Duct tape can't fix stupid, but it helps mask the noise. :P   
      
    GP> Sex, as a noun: male or female, period, no other options.   
    GP> Gender: masculine, feminine, or neuter -- refers to outward behaviours,   
    GP> not actuality.   
      
     Sex is before seven....tennis before eleven -- (makes a nice tagline) .   
      
    GP> I've thought about being cheeky & answering "F" on "gender?" questions,   
    GP> until I realized it would just be taken seriously without question.   
      
     Before my wife died, and we went to get our flu shots, we had to fill out   
   paperwork at the local Walgreens. When it got to the question about being   
   pregnant, I said to my wife "I wonder if I should mark that??". She growled   
   "Don't even think about it".    
      
    GP> Or like the teenage boy who was looking at the question "Sex?" &   
    GP> thought "Well, I'd like to F, but I guess I should be honest & put that   
    GP> I only M"   
      
     If you can get the worm and fish on and off the hook in record time, that   
   makes you a master baiter.    
      
    GP> My baby sister is up north working her ass off as a business owner   
    GP> (accounting & bookkeeping office) & enjoying her many grandkids. . .   
    GP> (she was first to make my mom into a great grandma--not overly   
    GP> appreciarted at the time)   
      
      
     I grew up with one brother. We were raised in the same household, but   
   we are as different as night and day...hobbies and otherwise.   
      
    GP> So you're a big o' 71 now, eh? Quite young, still. . .   
      
     I'm still younger than him (classed as a puppy, but I'm weaned and   
   potty trained ).   
      
    GP> Most of my real-life friends are closer to 80 or 90. . .   
      
     A lot of my ham radio friends are in that group.   
      
    GP> But we understand plenty, because we know the truth & we watched it go   
    GP> wrong. . . powerless against a juggernaut of ignorance sweeping our   
    GP> respective national populations. . .   
      
     Darn right.   
      
    GP> Oh, if only we could have a bunch of Lincolns hit the ballots these   
    GP> days. . .   
      
     Amen!!
