"There's no women"is incorrect whether or not any of the anal retentive, grammar-loving sailors are up and running or not, as harsh a reality as that may be. If the original quote had not been aimed at women in general, however, grace may have kept me from responding. Grammar-challenged or not, I'm sure you have many wonderful character traits, especially if you like Montgomerys. Cherri
The quote was not aimed at women in general, it was aimed at men as well. It is a cross between a zen exercise and a joke. It pains me to point this out, but the fact that this thread has survived this long, and gone into such complexity, makes me wonder.... Where I come from, we have sayings: I am a man I have a penis I was wrong and I am sorry I am a woman I have a vagina I didn't understand and I am sorry I am a eunuch I have nothing I don't know what I did BUT I SURE AM SORRY!
