WhitmanO'Neill in Worse Verse quoted A.E. Housman as using Eve as an excuse for beating his wife, and thought it was PinC. I never dared beat my wife, she was my size. And I also quoted elsewhere the old one about the guy who when about to beat his wife, as soon as he got her skirt up, forgot what he was mad about. There's a lot of stupid stuff in the Bible, and the Adam and Eve bit is in that class.
