My retort, "If they had a Christian Manhood Spectacular , the whole word would be better!" Then I said something like , "No, it wouldn't because men are too pig-headed and proud and would never attend it to make themselves better because they're too perfect already!"
Typical woman.
This happened 22 years ago and she remembers every word.
Men, can I get an "Amen"?
Someone has to remember history correctly. Men obviously don't. That's why, when they're telling about some event, you hear, 'Oh, honey, what was that fella's name again?"
"Which fella, dear?"
"Oh, you know. Doodle-bum. What's-his-name? Drove a Ford pick-up."
"Henry?"
"Yes, that's him. Henry!"
Anybody have a history book written by a woman?
I didn't think so.
I do. In fact, it is an 11 volume set. If you don't have one you should get one.
Women are quite good at history.
Will and Ariel Durant.

LOL! I have that set. Co-authored doesn't count.
Well, I tried. Ariel got her name on every book they produced. I don't see how that detracts any from her accomplishments.
