We all know that there is a strong relationship between high tech and high testosterone. Men program VCRs, use handheld PCs, build computers from scratch, hotrod cars and boats, and women simply don't. On the other hand, surely it's more macho to paddle a boat without a rudder. As Emiliano Z might have said, had he not lived in the Sonoran desert, "We don' need no steekin' rudders!" Perhaps that's what comes from men wearing skirts. Steve (with apologies to all the women reading this who _do_ program VCRs and build computers from scratch. Both of you.) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Oct 06 1999 - 11:15:55 PDT
