P.S.ssst

Here's what someone's husband emailed me from Italy after reading my blog post about Ahnold's travails:

"I think you give guys too much credit.  When they are thinking with the big guy, there is no
guilt or shame. ;-)"

Didn't Lance Armstrong warn guys over 30 NOT to use emoticons? ;) And yeah, maybe there's no guilt or shame during and immediately afterward, but what about when it's Father's Day unexpectedly? Don't you think they'd have some regrets?


"Also, what about these women teachers who are caught having sex with students?  You should include them in your list of naughties - it's not just men."

Uh, huh. YOU include women who sleep with their students on your list of naughties. Did you click on the NPR link on my last blog post? There was a mention of an Irish MP, Iris Robinson, who was found out to be boinking a 19-year-old. (What an unfortunate, unfortunate name for a political fornicator, by the way.) I believe incidents like these are comparatively rare because unlike our Irish Mrs. Robinson, who is past menopause, women can get pregnant and they can't hide a goddamned thing!

"But your overall point is good. There's lots of needless pain and suffering that comes from these
affairs."

Thank you to the critic whose head rests on the pillow beside me.
