Thanks for the reference.

I just now opened up that old book, King James Version, and I
found this:

>From Chapter 31, verse 10:

"Who can find a virtuous
woman? for her price is far above
rubies."

And then from verse 17:

"She girdeth her loins with
strength, and strengtheneth her arms."

Virtuous women have strong arms too.  I found out in the case of
one young lady whose virtue I once questioned that she could deliver
a very powerful roundhouse right.  She was so quick that I didn't
even see it coming.  Knocked me down too!  In my questioning of
her virtue I was only making a curious inquiry as to her price.
The Bible explains it all!

As a man who occasionally reads the Bible, and who once tried
to deal with a virtuous woman, I can advise that this is the
wrong question to ask.  People who read the Bible more frequently
than I do should already know what the answer to that one is.
