English Punctuation.

Postby Anonymous » Fri Jun 23, 2006 16:37

An English professor wrote on the blackboard:

"A woman without her man is nothing"

and asked the class to properly punctuate the sentence.

All the males in the class wrote:
"A woman, without her man, is nothing"

All the females in the class wrote:
"A woman: without her, man is nothing"

Punctuation is powerful !

That would be an excellent exam for your group of English students. All the feminist bitches would get booted from the university if they let their pussy rule over the brains Cool

Hey wait, you lured me into a trap there, it's not chauvinism! Since in the ultimate reality concepts such as genders are meaningless, I am free to consciously choose my opinions to suit my view of how things work out down here. So it's realism and pragmatism in one! I hate pragmatism unless one understands it's limits. Just like relativism and many other -isms out there~~

You're using the word "gender"... what about the word "sex"?
