Actually, she did better with tools than her husband ever did.... But then we're going to cross into my view of why Sitcoms are Better Than Reality: in a sitcom, everyone's quirks make them lovable and interesting. It would be a boring show if Tim Taylor could actually fix anything. TV sitcoms often seem sexist to me: the flaws in the males are often more pronounced than the flaws in women who are almost always the bastion of sanity amongst the lunatic men. In reality, we're all nuts. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22564 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
