Let's do something intelligent then.

How do you measure intelligence may ?

' by squashing people'.

That's an unusual way of weighing g the scales of justice.

' well you have to squash them to fit them in Dont you?

Give me a scientific way of measuring intelligence

' puttem in a box'.

How do you measure them once you have them in a box?.

' we're not allowed to answer that question.'

Just imagine if there was a way of testing intelligence like you test for thyroid function - the probe. The prick. You could find ten small differences when there's only supposed to be eight. Imagine if you could give yourself an intelligence test every morning - you wouldn't have to do the crossword. How are you today ? Ooooh subnormal.

Pretty much all doctors think their female patients are hysterical, stupid hypochondriacs. If they got a degree or three, they obviously cheated and got a man to do the work for them. Because no one is is as intelligent, gorgeous and desirable as a doctor - and female doctors can be worse as they are afraid of being tarred with the same brush as female patients

If you read the root of hysteria, it makes wonderful reading! The ancients through it was because the womb was a creature that wandered around the body, causing illness. Later, it was referred to as "the widow's disease", because the female semen was believed to turn venomous if not released through regular climax or intercourse. They completely ignored any male who was "hysterical". Sort of sounds familiar even now!

In todays society, GPs still blame the womb for many of our troubles!

thank goodness my thyroid isn't in my womb. I hear it all the time sex as cure all for women. Some males really want to help and offer their services. I should try wanking my womb.
