Men and women

[pegkerr]

This made me laugh out loud. I saw it on somebody's Sparkpage over at Sparkpeople:

Five tips for a woman....

1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job.
2. It is important that a man makes you laugh.
3. It is important to find a man you can count on and doesn't lie to you.
4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you.
5. It is important that these four men don't know each other.

Below that, she had:

Serenity prayer:

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I had to kill because they pissed me off.

That is cute. Reminds me of Russel Crowe's toast in Master and Commander:

"To our wives and our sweethearts. May they never meet."

In Mpls fandom it's a lot more likely to be, "To our wives and our sweethearts. May they finally manage to schedule that dinner we've been trying to plan for the last two months."

Indeed. (And yours all live in the same city.)

I'd never have had any idea what the name of the actor was who said it in the movie. It's a real period classic, though, so I suppose credit isn't particularly due to Patrick O'Brian for writing it into the book, either.

That's actually one of the classic Royal Navy toasts - the Saturday night one. (The modern Canadian Navy uses "our families".)
