Women can fight with the best of them


Okay ladies; let me ask you a question. What would you do if a man you didn’t know knocked on your door and offered to give you a free breast exam? Would you: A. Let him in and let him do his thing or B. Raise hell and call the cops?

Stupid question, I know. But believe it or not, that actually happened in Florida recently, and what’s worse, some women actually let the guy in. Florida must be the only state in the union where doctors make unannounced house calls, and heck, he doesn’t have to be your own doctor, or for that matter, a doctor at all. At least that’s the only explanation that I can come up with to explain the fact that several women allowed a 73-year-old man that they didn’t know to come into their homes and examine them.

Now, I just don’t see that going over well here. For one thing, I have yet to meet any Southern woman who isn’t well versed in the use of her fingernails, knees, and elbows to dissuade potential perverts. I won’t even mention the various other weapons we possess. We tend to learn these things early in life. Our mommas and daddies make sure of that.

If for some reason we can’t handle it alone, we just yell and our gal pals come running. We women may have our cat fights from time to time but we also stick together, and no woman will pass up the chance to give a good beating to some fool who so justly deserves it.

It must be all that pent-up frustration and PMS that we carry around.

To top it off, fathers, brothers, boyfriends, and husbands tend to take a negative view of sexual perverts. Go figure. Maybe it goes back to caveman days but men are territorial and possessive toward the women in their lives. They also like to keep their hunting skills fresh. Supposedly, Florida is a Southern state. Maybe they put something in the water down there to dull the senses. This summer if you’re vacationing in Florida, just to be on the safe side, don’t drink the water. And have a great summer!
