The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

Who were the women who held back their sexual favors until the men stopped fighting?
With your shield or on it

I suspect on that urn she's mad they didn't bring back the lamb and grape leaves she requested they bring her to prepare dinner but were out carousing instead.
Oh so true of Greek women. The only thing scarier when they get their hell on is Northern Irish women. They don't have a 'Stop' function fitted.
Keep them away from the cast iron skillets.
Sparta, where the men fear only their women.
OK, I didn't remember it was a play.
