My first being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint. ~ Erma Bombeck The phrase “working mother” is redundant. ~ Jane Sellman Whatever women must do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult. ~ Charlotte Whitton Thirty-five is when you finally get your head together and your body starts falling apart. ~ Caryn Leschen When I was young, I was put in a school for retarded kids for two years before they realized I actually had a hearing loss.

Every time I leave a man I keep his house. ~ Zsa Zsa Gabor I refuse to think of them as chin hairs. I think of them as stray eyebrows. ~ Janette Barber I’m not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I’m not dumb .. and I’m also not blonde. ~ Dolly Parton If high heels were so wonderful, men would still be wearing them. ~ Sue Grafton In politics, if you want anything said, ask a man - if you want anything done, ask a woman. ~ Margaret Thatcher When women are depressed they either eat or go shopping.
