There seem to be a lot of "Where men are men" and "Those who can..."
jokes being posted to the net.  In case you folks haven't noticed,
they are incredibly repetitive (for example, all of the "men are
men" jokes seem to end with the same "punch line" about sheep.
Well, people, once could be considered funny, twice maybe amusing,
but after thousands of tellings a joke just loses the old pizazz.
I would like to request that those of you out there who are
considering posting a joke *please* consider first how many
thousands of minor variations on that same joke have already
been posted before you contribute to the monotony.  Think of
how much money could've been saved in phone charges alone if
"where men are men" had appeared only once!  My 'n' key finger
(as well as the rest of me) will appreciate your kind consideration.
