Okay, I'm a little hesitant to inject a female point of view in this testosterone discussion, but let me add somethng I have noticed in the way of creeping PC.
I love to buy Christmas magazines that feature Christmas season decorating ideas. These are magazines like Good Housekeeping, Better Homes and Gardens, Martha Stewart's Living, etc., etc. At any rate I noticed a few years ago that notions that Christmas had any religious significance was quickly disappearing from decorating ideas. In fact I started specifically looking at magazines for religious decorations--a nativity set in the background, an angel on a tree, any little thing that bespoke the religious origin of Christmas--in the ideas articles, in advertisements, in backgrounds of photographs of the people being interviewed. So far this year it continues to be an almost total shutout. For example, I found only one religious symbol in Martha Stewart's 260-page December issue. It was a menorah in a picture accompanying Hannakuh recipes. Nothing whatsoever Christian in all the other pages.
That is the pattern these days and it is simply not a coincidence. You have to work pretty hard at specifically excluding religious symbols of any kind in order to have that complete a shutout on Christmas decorating or cooking or entertaining. Sad that the real meaning of Christmas is deemed so dangerous these days.
My favorite:
Chuck Norris once ate three 72 oz. steaks in one hour. He spent the first 45 minutes having sex with his waitress.
I've always liked Chuck.
Chuck Norris ping.
Merry Christmas, it's all about Jesus. Amen.
When my granddaughter was little she was a huge Chuck Norris fan. She wrote him a letter and was SO surprised to receive a signed photo and a certificate of some kind in the mail. She still has that thing! LOL
Chuck's the Man!
There is no chin under Chuck Norris' Beard. There is only another fist.
Chuck Norris’ hand is the only hand that can beat a Royal Flush.
Chuck Norris can lead a horse to water AND make it drink.

I think if we were to check into this one, it is probably not a joke but a true incident. I'm just sayin'....
Stop by on December 25, Mr. Norris, and I'll wish you a Merry Christmas!
bump for later
Hope Filled Advent!
