(even if it has taken some effort..)<br /><br />Maybe to some people, the "Women can't parallel-park" stereotype might sound dirty, like it has to do with the missionary-position, or something. Har har.<br /><br />In either case, with the stereotype taken literally or with the double entendre, I wonder now about the philosophical possibility that maybe it isn't the woman's fault she can't parallel-park. Because maybe the parking-place (or her guy..) is instead what is not lining up properly for her.<br />Frame-of-reference/ relativity, and all that.<br />(And an 'E = m c^2' thrown-in just for good measure.)<br />Yes, so if we are traveling at near the speed of light, distances contract (or is it, they expand?), and parallel lines converge.<br />So women are just SUCH good drivers, you see, they are parking at near the speed of light. Hence, they have their alleged problems with parallel-parking, ironically.Amorphous Trapezoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848496983638628005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452891279789489253.post-86601906847008912522013-01-21T07:21:20.060-07:002013-01-21T07:21:20.060-07:00I like theses ones Leroy, I did the ooo thing.

I can parallel park I just choose not to, I swear i didn't lose that other car, it is perfectly parallel parked in that parallel universe, maybe!kikinotdeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16505177238584232704noreply@blogger.com
