Women's Wisdom for 2004

A sense of humour does not mean you tell him jokes; it means you laugh at his.

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend; a successful woman is one who can find such a man.

A woman can look both moral and exciting – if she also looks as if it was quite a struggle.

Boys will be boys, but girls will be women.

Can you imagine a world without men? No crime and lots of happy, and really fat women.

Women are in the military, but they don’t put us in the front lines – they don’t think we can fight. I think we can – all the general has to do is walk over to the women and say, “You see the enemy over there? They say you look fat in those uniforms.”

Women don't make fools of men - most of them are the do-it-yourself types.

Women might be able to fake orgasms, but men can fake entire relationships.

Women want men, careers, money, children, friends, luxury, comfort, independence, freedom, respect, love and three-dollar pantyhose that won’t run.

Women who aspire to be as good as men lack ambition.
