It's good to be female

7. We can wear lots of fun colors, not just black, blue, brown, and white
8. Our clothes are more fun
9. We don't have to wear the same boring shoes all the time
10. We got off the Titanic first.
11. We can scare male bosses with mysterious gynecological disorder excuses.

It's been thirty three years, and I still don't regret my solitary standard left lobe pierce. I've had the same hoop, which I formed from UNS 20910 corrosion resistant steel, a souvenir of having produced mine sweep gear per Mil-F-17280D, in there for close to twenty years.
I do wish I'd given a little more thought to the shape of the heart tattoos I had added either side of her name...

And she passes gas to amuse me! (duckin' and runnin')
And I guess the cutoff is 6 years, right sweetie?

Ha! I just wrote about #26 today, in fact.
But I totally agree. Espcially about the fun clothing. And even more so, we don't HAVE to wear ties, if we do we're retro. If guys do, they're just screwed.
Nice list.

Wear a tie: get screwed. Sounds okay to me, if it worked.
Cheers

I have it on good authority that women never fart under any circumstances.
Except my wife, who can do the "pull my finger" trick really well. :-)
