his mom did to him.
And then you gotta get rid of all that macho crap they pick up from beer commercials.
And then there's my personal favorite, the male ego."

"The only time a woman really succeeds in changing a man
is when he is a baby."

political conventions

task of government....Man's place is in the armory."

trees."

of happy, fat women."

clean socks."

reasonable sex."

closing around their necks,
