There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.

Hillel the Elder I dunno...I'm thinking being a cat or a dog is more desirable. Humans are disappointing creatures. The old 1970s-era T-shirt slogan “The more I see of MEN* the better I like my DOG” comes to mind. *Not sure whether original version of the shirt was making a feminist commentary or was using the then-accepted English convention of the “universal ‘his’”, i.e., referring to “people” in general. |
