I have a stupid question.  I remember there is a passage in the
Bible (probably O.T.) a man's prayer went like this:

	Thank God I am not a dog,
	Thank God I am not a woman....

Can anyone tell me where is it?

[I don't think it's in the Bible.  This is a supposed Jewish prayer,
which I've heard quoted, but have never been sure is more than
an "urban legend".  Perhaps one of our Jewish readers can 
enlighten us?  (Also, the version of the urban legend I heard
claimed that women had a similar prayer that thanked God they
weren't men.)  --clh]
