From a Kenneth Cole magazine ad: "If there are skeletons in your closet, do they wear your clothes?"

From "10 Things You Don't Know About Women" by Caroline Rhea in Esquire (eep), some of the better ones:
4. A fantasy life is not exclusively yours. You know how sometimes you open your eyes and are disappointed not to see Pamela Anderson? We're just as shocked to find out you're not a pirate.

7. Please don't call us ma'am. Ma'am is just code for "no longer hot."

9. Never tell us that we look like the daughter from The Love Boat. Oh, wait--never tell Caroline Rhea she looks like the daughter from The Love Boat. All the other girls are on their own.

10. We'll take Joe-Returns-My-Call over Joe Millionaire any day.

an exception to the "don't call us ma'am" rule:

don't call us ma'am unless you were born and bred in the "South" or are a member of the military or a uniformed public safety officer.

Point taken. There are situations where it would be more insulting not to be called "ma'am." (But not tooo many.)

... "just as shocked" would imply, of course, that you're never in the least bit surprised that I'm not a pirate. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing that Pamela Anderson would be good for would be ransom/extortion. (Then again, I suppose I'm not quite Esquire's target audience...)

Don't pirates ransom their captives?

I must say that I have never once been surprised that you are not a pirate. ;-) Although I don't happen to have that particular fetish, I know enough people who do that I couldn't resist posting that. Hee!
