True Story - One crisp clear day, a friend is driving his new sports car down a mountain. It was quite an experience with all the twists and turns. Very exciting high speed adventure! As it so happens, he comes across a woman who is going in the opposite direction screaming and waving trying to get his attention. " PIG" she screams ... Oh yeah... "B#tch" he screams back. As he rounds the next curve, he proceeds to crash directly into a pig in the roadway!
Re: Re: Man vs. Woman It's a humor. Didn't you catch the joke? The woman tried to warn the man (the driver) about some pigs that were on the highway, ahead of him, by shouting PIGS! The driver misunderstood the warning and shouted back "B$#ch" at her. Ike
Obviously, it was an expensive price for his inability to comprehend the warning signs from the woman.
Adam came home late one evening and Eve was waiting angrily. "You've been out with another woman, haven't you?" she asked. "Eve, really...you're the only woman on Earth. How could I have been out with another?" Adam and Eve went to sleep, but Adam was awakened when he felt something poking him on the chest. It was Eve. "Eve, what are you doing?" "Counting your ribs," she said.
Good one Bill, That reminds me of the one.... God made the heavens and rested. God made the earth and rested. God made the oceans and rested. God made the mountains and rested. God made man and rested. God made woman, since then, neither God nor man has rested!
I am certain that there is some literary symbolism here. Is the PIG a radar-packing police officer? Is there sexual overtones as to the "new sports car" and "twists" and "turns" and "screaming" ?
Re: Re: Man vs. Woman Hi GENO, I read this and thought it was cute. If there are other meanings here ... anything is possible.
Just adding some lighter insights. Way back in English Literature/Poetry class you were called upon to express your interpretation of a poem or line of prose and everyone had their own meaning. We did not know enough to add the Freudian slant on things.
Re: Re: Man vs. Woman BTW - I don't call cops PIGS because I am finishing my degree in Criminal Justice ( hint ). My wife & best friend runs the show at home so... overtones on sports cars aint my thing. I drive a slow 4x4. No hidden meanings. Mike
