And women's instinct ... honed to perfection. Some think they are base, animal instincts.

Yours, or women's in general?

Oh, Long of Tooth, Sir Saber ... fierce or fearsome? Retreating or rejoining? Paper tiger or saber-toothed?

Ancient adage of the Long of Tooth Smilodons:

Sharpen teeth on bait, young cub, and snares will stop your purr,
Endure the fleeting hunger pangs, beware the claws of her
To whom you give your pelt too easily, like razors are her nails --
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.

Ancient adage of the mythical Amazon Warrior:

Fearsome, oh Long of Tooth, why the hasty recession?
Slashing wounds can be bound by wraps of amorous attention.
Only true sabertooths enjoin, paper tigers secrete, fail.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.

I heard they didn't like men too much. Don't think I want to follow their advice.

Verily. They also ate their young! **evil smile**

For the female of the species is more deadly than the male. What more can I say?

Definitely fun!

I referred to it on another thread, after blasting someone. "the female of the species is more deadly than the male". ROFLMBO! They probably were clueless, but to those who hit this thread... ::GRIN::
