Hmmmm...  seems to me the title's simply 'Mars Needs Women'.  And for those
many who are just dying to know what that means (it is a bit out of context),
that's just Tonio's roundabout way of telling a girl off; as in:

"There ain't room on this whole Earth for *that* kind of charm"

Anyway, anyone see Oct. 19th's Bloom County?  It shows the little black kid
(whose name escapes me obviously) outside looking thru a telescope while
behind him a tiny martian ship lands and sticks up a poster behind him
that reads (you guessed it) "Mars Needs Women."  After the ship flys away
unnoticed, the little kid jots in his logbook: "slow night..."

Is there some significance to the phrase "Mars Needs Women" or is its
correlation to a Tonio K. song (and my signature!) just another example
of synchronicity???

I think it's a plot...

All right, ya want a quote, I'll give you a quote:
"I hear Mars needs women, baby; you should apply..."
