“I realize that there are certain hardships that only females must endure, such as childbirth, waiting in lines for public-restroom stalls, and a crippling, psychotic obsession with shoe color. Also, females tend to reach emotional maturity very quickly, so that by age 7 they are no longer capable of seeing the humor in loud inadvertent public blasts of flatulence, whereas males can continue to derive vast enjoyment from this well into their 80s.” WellsAgeCertainWaitingRealizingLinesSeeingEmotionalColorCapableFemaleEndureMalesShoesObsessionLoudMaturityEnjoymentHardship80sBlastChildbirthPsychoticRestroomFlatulenceEmotional MaturityWaiting In Line Author:Dave Barry

“The nude gains its enduring value from the fact that it reconciles several contrary states. It takes the most sensual and immediately interesting object, the human body, and puts it out of reach of time and desire; it takes the most purely rational concept of which mankind is capable, mathematical order, and makes it a delight to the senses; and it takes the vague fears of the unknown and sweetens them by showing that the gods are like men and may be worshiped for their life-giving beauty rather than their death-dealing powers.” MenGivingHumansMayStatesFactsBodyDesireValuesOrderInterestingMankindObjectsCapableConceptsGainsEndureDelightContrarySensesRationalSensualMathematicalVagueHuman BodyReconcileFear Of The Unknown Author:Kenneth Clark

“The nerves of the skin send pain signals to the brain to warn us of the danger from and impending injury. In the case of self-inflicted wounding, this pain acts as the body's own defense mechanism to stop one from proceeding in the effort at physical injury.
