A WOMAN'S RANDOM THOUGHTS

I read this article that said typical symptoms of stress are eating too
much, smoking too much, impulse buying,and driving too fast.
Are they kidding? That is MY idea of a perfect day.
Skinny people annoy me. Especially when they say
things like, "You know sometimes I forget to eat."
Now, I've forgotten my address, my mother's maiden name, and
my keys. But I've never forgotten to eat. You have to
be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat.

A friend of mine confused her valium with her birth control
pills. She has 14 kids, but she doesn't give a crap.

They keep telling us to get in touch with our bodies. Mine
isn't all that communicative but I heard from it the other
day after I said, "Body, how'd you like to go to the six
o'clock class in vigorous toning?" Clear as a bell my
body said, "Listen, witch, do it and you die."

I know what Victoria's Secret is. The secret is that nobody
older than 30 can fit into their stuff.

"If men can run the world, why can't they stop wearing
neckties? How intelligent is it to start the day by tying a noose
around your neck?"
