I love this, and not because it’s about me. Well, maybe just a little. So let see those shoes.

It's the way you express yourself that's always entertaining. Did you learn all that

at AU? Money well spent!

Thank you, Barry. Ours may be the last generation that finds gender role humor funny!

well,i think some may be eager to 'blast' this piece. it's humor and i certainly talk about the trespasses and problems respecting women in our society. I grew up with strong female role models; a mom who was a professor at Adelphi, a former wife who was a designer, a wife who is a lawyer and judge, another sister in law who is ALSO a lawyer and judge, my brother's wife who is a retired judge, and a niece who is a lawyer. I am hardly a misogynist or 'old fogie.'

I meant no such thing!

I was referring to the decline in humor among generations that came after ours. I found your piece delightful.
