Uncalled for rudeness, but what else could I expect from you?

I have a special technique that I use for determining when a woman
is going through a particularly nasty bout with PMS.  I'll use small
words for you:

1)	Compare woman's personality to her usual personality
2)	Is it about normal?  If yes, then jump out of loop
3)	Is she acting weird for no apparant reason?
4)	If there does seem to be a reason, then jump out of loop
5)	Is she irritable?  Does she post nasty things to the net
	on discussions that are already played out?  Does she
	use coarseness when she doesn't have to?  Is she looking
	for any opportunity to jump down someone's throat?
6)	If no, then leave loop
7)	Is she Sophie Quigley?
8)	If yes, then leave loop
9)	It now becomes reasonable to assume that the woman *may* be
	suffering from a nasty bout of PMS.

Now, try to be nice, huh?

I highly doubt that Time Inc.  would make me their spokesperson.
