You'd think women would be a little tired of having "removal of their uterus" synonymous with the removal of "the cause of their hysteria" by now, wouldn't you? bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

So then, curing your fervid brain-pan is akin to extirpation of your fine wolf-like Qualities? I so confusicated.

They thought it meant 'Grand Old Party', but I have heard--across the decades--some (lovely) rather scabrous and deservedly insulting variants.
