News that I missed, courtesy of The Babylon Bee:
VOLCANO LAIR—Finally, in a triumph of feminism, we have a girl James Bond, Jane Bond, to prove that women are just as capable as, and maybe even more capable than, men. Her first adventure was going well, with Jane Bond sneaking through the villain Silverfoot’s lair, but when she found where Silverfoot kept his evil plans, disaster struck: The plans were sealed inside a pickle jar.
Jane Bond struggled to open the jar to retrieve the plans for ten minutes, finally giving up so she could instead find the temperature controls for the hollowed-out volcano, as she was feeling cold. She shrieked when she saw a spider, though, and was quickly captured.
“So, Silverfoot, do you expect me to talk?” asked Jane Bond while she was strapped to a table with a laser inching toward her to cut her in two.
“No, you’re always talking,” Silverfoot replied. “I just want you to shut up for once.”
“Too bad! We’re talking!”
Jane Bond’s gambit of trying to talk about her relationship with the supervillain worked, causing Silverfoot to flee the room and giving her an opportunity to escape. She caused millions of pounds in property damage, though, in the ensuing car chase, most of it at the very end when she tried to parallel park her Aston Martin.
Go here to read the rest. So Jane Bond was triumphant. She would have to deal with a nail the villain implanted in her forehead, but that should be a simple task to remedy:
Just LISTEN!
Oh yeah. I’ve been guilty of this one many times over.
Patience in endurance.
It’s so difficult as a husband to just ignore the nail..and listen.
Coffee please.
I miss driving home the office and accomplishing this listening without solutions on speaker phone.

No kidding.
Working from home put the ka-bash on that practice.
I suppose that were all prideful.
She has her adopted troubles that only she alone can solve. Me?
Probably 5x’s hers. My favorite?
Putting off the Physician unless I’m bleeding from the eye’s.
God help us all.
Phillip, Retirement ruined my life! Old joke. “I married her for better or for worse, not for lunch.”
Men simply are too [expletive-deleted] thick [don’t tell me what to do] to get it.
OTOH Reportedly, males constitute a minority, just 40%, of US college/university students.
Women don’t want you to analyze, to propose a solution, to solve the crisis of the moment. That enrages them. They want you to listen and to FEEL.
Remember. The female of the species is more deadly than the male.
When I think about the patience my guardian angel has had to endure with me, I strive to do better in just “listening”. It’s very difficult for me. I work as an engineer. A male engineer. It’s in my nature to solve, solve, solve…
Argh.

Thank you.
I laughed at your “lunch” line and black widow imagery at the end.
True words though.
They say that we help each other to attain some virtues on this pathway called marriage. For many men Irish coffee is one of those hidden virtues. 😉
I stopped watching Dr. Who after the creation of a female Doctor. I’ll stop watching 007 movies if the same is done here. I freaking HATE feminism.
Old Joke:
During an emergency it’s women & children to the lifeboats first.
. . .
So the men can have some peace and quiet to figure out how to fix everything.
LOL to all here.
I can hardly wait for the FactCheckers™️ to go after the Bee on this one.
LQC,
Take solace.
Hardened “Feminists” are those that don’t like being women, hate men, and want to become that which they hate. They’re not happy people.
For 40+ years they’ve laughed about B. J. King beating Bobby Riggs at tennis.
True, David WS.
During the great recession our firm recruited several highly-qualified, Ivy League-educated analysts and attorneys. Two are brilliant, unmarried women [If I was single and 20 years younger . . .]. Of course, I would hold door and have them go first, and etc. Both said they didn’t see the need, but appreciated the gesture.
In conclusion, I can deal with feminists. It’s the crabs/$hit heads . . . .
FYI More than evil than a pickle jar: the under-15 Dallas FC boy’s soccer team that defeated the US women’s World Champ team in an exhibition game.
Now, let’s see that 18 year-old British girl US Open Champ get on a tennis court with Roger Federer – men’s runner-up. Could she return his serve?
