Our Wacky Women and "That Time of the Month"
2001-12-04 23:28:19
In my never-ending search for bizarre anecdotes and very strange statistics, I've uncovered some astounding facts about "That Time of the Month" that you may not know about.
Did you know:
- 32 states have laws on the books that say a woman isn't responsible for maiming, murdering or hitting a man on the head with a frying pan when her "Aunt Flo" is visiting.
- Ladies with "leaky basements" can't do math problems. It's true -- to a woman 1 + 1 = 5 when she's "on the rag"!
- Some large companies (including Charles Schwab, Ben & Jerry's, and the United States Postal Service) allow woman to take a leave of absence "that week" because most of them just sit at their desks crying the whole time anyway.
- 77% of divorces in this country are caused by "menstruating" women who think their husbands "breathe wrong."
- 92% of the chocolate consumed in the United States each year is eaten by women who are dealing with "the curse." Also, 86% of potato chips, 67% of our fat-free ice cream products and a whopping 98.5% of America's Cheez-Wiz are eaten by our "bloody ladies."
- It's best if girls who have "female troubles" don't participate in gym class or team sports. They're legs are weak and they tend to fall over on courts and playing fields, causing injury to other players who trip over them.
- A woman who has "a snatch box decorated with red roses" should not prepare food to serve to others. Her blood is "tainted" and can "infect" the meal.
- In 1982, an Oklahoma woman by the name of Elaine Skinner ate 286 oz. of raw pork products. She attributed this amazing feat to "riding the cotton pony."

Poor Metallica. All they want is to continue to put out the same weak "Heavy Metal" they've been churning out since the "And Justice For All" days? and make gooey wads of cash in the process. The problem is, people aren't buying their bound for the heavy metal scrap heap, over-produced, uninspired, tired crap. And let's face it, their various commercial endorsements won't pay for the lifestyle they've become comfortably accustomed to. Resorting to lawsuits makes perfect sense, when you need spending money. But just one lawsuit isn't going to pay their bills. So, to aid Metallica, I've composed an open letter to the boys in the band, with suggestions as to whom else they might sic their lapdog lawyers on... (More...)
A Treatise Prepared for the Gallup Organization on the Symbolism of the Scarab
Well dahlings, the response to my new tarot column has been quite overwhelming. I got three whole pieces of mail requesting my arcane insight. One asked why blogs suck so much, and one was a completely incomprehensible tale of bears shitting random numbers in the woods — I am fairly certain it was a cryptographic allegory. Howsomever, only ONE of the inquiries was accompanied by a crisp ten-dollar bill, and so it's the Gallup Organization that will this week reap the benefit of my wicked pack of cards. (More...)
