I'm alright with it grin

Woman from Venus and men from Mars and all that.

I just might argue with you on some points.......

Yeah. I'd have to ask, "Which women, which men, what circumstances." Today (well, I guess it was yesterday) I had an organizational meeting for a Celebration of Life for a mutual friend with four women, and the only reason that the discussion was not five-ways equal is that two of the women had more information to impart than anyone else, and I had less. When I go to a bar (hey, my son's a bartender: it's my best chance to see him) it seems as though the women talk a bit more than the men, but the higher voices cut through the ambient din better than the lower ones. Hard to do a study.

Then again, look at Candy's post, then look at mine.

I have been here since 00 And I have written 540 posts. Yet I fear I am sometimes too loud and - talk too much. I don't like hearing my own voice.
I do not have a problem with what you said, but 'snotrue.

Just for the fun of it, one might count cell phone users
in traffic or grocery stores. Wonder what might result.

I do realize that it was a generalization and not a very accurate one at that. I don't tend to be very serious if I can help it. For me the best facts are always made up. I wasn't really asking if it was accurate, I was asking if it was offensive. grin

It wasn't offensive because it wasn't accurate. I didn't find it hugely funny either. Maybe you should have used irony.

Aha! That may be the crux of it. I could see that that was the intent, but I really didn't (and I have a pretty good sense of humor) find it funny. Perhaps a different premise? Twitter has rendered useless our expensive educations, and we need to express ourselves through the new social network site, Erudictionary.com?
