I've got a big, big problem
by Mike on the Bottom
The following spam subhead in my work email inbox stopped me in my tracks this week:
MIKE, 67 PERCENT OF WOMEN DON'T LIKE YOU
It turns out that size DOES matter to more than two-thirds of women, and the company that sent this email can help me with my little problem for a low, low price.
Hmmm. So THAT'S why women editors have a problem with me.
Wait. If 33 percent of women DO like me, I'm doing pretty well for myself.
Is the glass half empty or half full? Or should I say, 67 percent empty or 33 percent full?
When, oh when, will women stop thinking of men as sex objects and appreciate sensitivity?

Mike on the Bottom, aka Michael Zitz Beckham, is a journalist, baseball fanatic, and FOVG (Friend of V-Grrrl). She likes him a lot about 67 percent of the time.

As for your relationship with women editors, I recommend dispensing with the rolled up sock in your pocket, and asking with deep concern whether your boss is OK, because gosh,she sure is looking like she lost a lot of weight. ; )
It might come across as a cheap shot. But, hey.
Bush needs a bigger sock in his pocket AND a sock in his MOUTH.
I need neither.
