    This conversation was recently translated from an ancient tablet -

    Mrs Aristotle - 'Eee lass, you should have seen him last night. Hard as solid petra he was, like a acropolis he was, like a blooming Corinthian column. Had me over the bath he did, poor old Diogenes didnt know where to put his face.
    Mrs Plato - 'ooo, sounds great. Thank the Gods we have lusty men to tell us our venal desires'
    Mrs Socrates - 'Go men go yay. Tell us what to do'

    Sappho wanders up - 'Hey girls. I gave this hoplite the finger this morning as I passed him in my chariot. Girly power eh ?'

    sounds of screaming as the good ladies of Athens chuck Sappho over the cliffs into the sea.


    Would that by Aristotle's first or second wife?

      The ambiguity in that has been bothering me for over an hour.
      My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

        sometimes the willpower required not to post would be enough to bend a couple of dozen spoons into paperclips

            I once worked for a well known company who had a pre-op transexual working there. He couldn't stop himself from opening doors for ladies, which was quite charming but he never had the favour returned by the blokes. Not sure where I am going witrh this so I'll stop and nip over to the we hate Diestl thred and see how that is coming on.

              So why did the rather attractive women just now hold the door open for me when I was still four or five yards from the door. No-one wants to see my boobs wobble.

                Because she's naive enough to think we do it to be polite?

                If women knew what went on in mens minds they wouldn't come anywhere near us.
                Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                  gingerjedi is right

                  how about this from The Final Cut-

                  And if I show you my dark side
                  will you still hold me tonight
                  and if I open my heart to you
                  and show you my weak side
                  what would you do
