The Lady's Not For Spurning

      Gene W's introduction to his column this week is brilliant:

During a recent radio interview concerning our book about men and women, the female host suggested that Gina Barreca and I ask each other questions. Gina went first. She asked me how I thought my professional career would have been different had I been born a girl.

I said that, given my basic outlook on life, I probably would still be a humor writer. I just wouldn't be as funny.

Oddly enough, after reading the rest of the article, it's obvious: he was right.
