Obviously, jokes and puns do not either, Ed.  Only kidding there...
it should have been apparent that I was joshin'.  Er, I don't think
I need the tutorial you give me, although I thank you for the time

The question here was "Is what you do dependant upon what sex *you*

Anyway, Ed, I sorta figure you and I got our wires crossed. Give a re-read
to the original article in question, and let me know what you think?

I highly doubt that Time Inc.  would make me their spokesperson.
