Maybe we're all just wankers

On this day in 1970, 28 Ohio National Guardsmen kill four students and wound nine others at Kent State University. The Guardsmen had read them the riot act, but the students refused to disperse. So they shot them.
Ah yes, the good old days. Please note the sarcasm.
Today in awittykitty�s diary she has a great time with a man whom she had always assumed was gay until she met the trophy wife . . . and is still not sure based on the d�cor of the guy�s house.
It reminded me of some time ago when I came across a descriptive essay of men and women. Men were either: Boys, Men, or Hairdressers. Women were either: Girls, Women, or Men. Now, being a Man/Hairdresser or a Woman/Man has very little to do with actual sexual proclivities. Example: Matthew Broderick is a Boy. So is Josh Duhamel. Russell Crowe is a Man. Tony Curtis is a Hairdresser. So is James Caan. I suppose, these days, �Metrosexual� would fulfill the �Hairdresser� moniker. Get it, though? More examples: Reese Witherspoon is a Girl. For some reason, though, Women/Woman and Women/Man lines tend to blur a bit. Susan Sarandon is most likely a Woman and Sigourney Weaver is most likely a Man, but Sigourney does drift back into Woman status on occasion. Charlize Theron is a Girl who is trying to be a Man. Sharon Stone is a Man who thinks she�s a Woman.
And then there are the �Creatures�, who defy explanation. Will Ferrell. Scarlett Johanssen. Jack Black. And definitely Andy Serkis.
Hubster is a Creature. I�m a Girl that wishes she were a Creature.
Not that there�s anything wrong with that.
But there�s something wrong with this sign:
As least, if you are a literalist type of person. Sometimes Hubster is just to piss me off. But on the other hand, some people are so dumb that you have to be literal with them:
And then, there are those who attempt to be literal and then fail miserably:
And then there�s the whole lost in translation problem:
But then, there�s a lot to be said for the straightforward approach:
Oh, so many choices for Women and Men and Boys and Girls and Hairdressers and Men and Creatures.
