Can you believe that????? Is that all they think of women? It must be. I know a guy down the street, Bob, he is just like that. I heard him myself saying he thought a woman was pretty. So that means she is an object."
Sandy: "Oh I know. I was setting up a business luncheon and checking online to see if they had finished washing and detailing my car and I saw that very same magazine cover. I, I just felt scared and had to check if someone had really posted that. Do you know what it was like to see it on my 27 inch monitor? I am getting a meeting together now, bring some steak and beer later tonight and let's face this problem with the rest of our friends. Oh, and bring your wireless keyboards, my cats like to attack cables"
