Recently, there was an article on the net extolling the virtues of 
carrots over males. (A carrot never comes home smelling like another 
woman).  This article was incredibly sexist, mostly because it didn't 
offer any alternatives to the males who now have to go around playing
second fiddle to a member of the legume family.

Over the years, I have spent many more nights at home with a paperback than
with a member of the opposite sex and I would like to share some of the 
advantages with other members of net.singles.



  You can buy a book legally. 

  You can read a book whenever you want.

  If you don't like a book, you can throw it out.

  If someone else likes your book, you can buy him/her a copy.

  You can read a good book for hours.

  The book doesn't care if you're a fast reader.

  You can have more than one book at a time; you can even be 
  reading two books at a time.

  You don't have to judge a book by its cover, but you can, and if you're
  wrong, you're only out $2.50.

  Good books are easy to find.
