The Other Double Standard
ìWhy is it that women complain when men leave the toilet seat up, but men donít complain when women leave it down?î writes Thomas Simon. ìWhy do we always hear the phrase ëinnocent women and childrení but never hear about ëinnocent mení or ëmen and childrení?î more>>

And here's my take on the toilet seat issue.

Just like O.J.'s still trying to find the real killer...
American cigarette companies are "trying to find a way to reduce the harm associated with our products by reducing the level of harmful constituents that smokers inhale," in the words of death-stick spokes-turd Brendan McCormick. more>>

This Week In Love Problems
In writing each weekís column, I come up with a bunch of funny lines, many of which never make it into print. A line from last weekís brainstorming that ended up on the editing room floor is ìA man who spends more time in the bathroom than you do is a man who should have a boyfriend of his own"...perfect, it turns out, for a letter that came in todayís mail:

Dear Amy,
I desperately need your help. I donít know what to do. I have a relationship with a woman I work with. I stay at her place a few nights each week and Iím falling in love with her after only three months. Last night she was showing me her family pictures and it freaked me out because I recognized her father. In fact, I know her father quite well. You see, for the last six years I have lived four days a week at my place and three days a week in a nearby city in my deceased motherís home. At my place, I live as a man. I live as a woman in my motherís home. As a transvestite I have been seeing this womanís father for over a year, and I love him also. We have talked about living fulltime together. I have had sexual relations with both of them the same day and it would hurt both of them if they found out. What do I do? I donít want to hurt either of them. However, I would like to live fulltime as a woman and enjoy my femininity. The only thing I have thought of is to invite the woman over to my place for dinner and be all dressed up in my feminine persona and see what happens. I would love to live with both of them. Please help. (Signature and city omitted)

*Just a note to anyone wondering if I make up stuff like this: Iím not that talented.
