Just bought a case of Comice pears, and pissed off some old
guy, but amused the hell out of the produce lady. "What are you going to
do with a whole case of pears?" he says.
"Not that it's your business, but I have a decent size
family that will eat them. If they ripen all at once, I'll can some."
"You can't can. Canning is women's work."
Raised eyebrow. "Really? I beg to differ. And I bet
this lady would too."
She crosses her arms and awaits his reply.
"Everyone has their place. Men do the work, women do
the housework, the cleaning, the canning."
"Huh. Well, I have been an at-home dad for the last six
years. I love to cook, I love to can, I love my kids. I make soap. If that's
women's work - sign me up to be a women!"
"Well, God has a purpose for all of us."
"Ohhhhh...okay then. We're gonna go now."
I personally don't believe there is any way to argue
rational logic against religious conviction. It's like cars vs. a wombats
bunghole. It makes no sense.
