If you've been pounding nails with your forehead for years, it may feel strange the first time somebody hands you a hammer. But that doesn't mean that you should strap the hammer to a headband just to give your skull that old familiar jolt.

I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary.

"Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said.

So I suggested the kitchen.

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down?
We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.

women = evil

Women = Time X Money


And as we all know "time is money"

Time = Money



Therefore by substituting Money for Time we get:

Women = Money X Money

Women = (Money)^2



And because "money is the root of all evil" we therefore can state:

Money = (Evil)^1/2

And Since

(Money)^2 = Women

Then (Money)^2 = Evil

And we are forced to conclude by substituting "women" for "(money)^2" from above that:

Women = Evil
