Don't Bank On Your Testosterone

The resounding and on-going crisis has provoked the economic collapse of quite a few countries. the BjorkTthe singer, had around 2009 created an investment company to save her countrymen from falling into the black hole. A rather brave and curious incentive, as the company was formatted completely by women. At the same time two other ladies had been appointed as heads of two principal banks in Ireland that were bankrupt and needed to be nationalized.

The banking sector has never been the area inclined towards women given such high power, and the men especially feel put out to be under order of women bosses. Not just in Ireland, lady bankers are extremely rare in most parts of the world. I read that some financial analysts consider that the testosterone hormone predisposed to aggressive behaviour or taking risks had contributed to the financial craze, and that if there had been women on the helm (we women have 10 times less testosterone than men), the situation would have likely not reached such excess. It certainly has some logic in that. I suddenly saw the crisis like a stampede of young financiers cram-packed with hormones.

So perhaps this economic crack would end up feminising the world banks. To begin with, it's much easier to share debts than profits. Some time I back I was astonished to see a press photo of Ricky Martin presenting his new born twins (by surrogate mother for hire). It must be the first time a man, a pubic figure and an icon to thousands of fans, appearing in a typical photo showing off new babies, customary by a delicate and smiling mother, alone, or with Papa looking on as if saying 'How did that happen?

In Spain, 80% of new fathers are benefited by law with the 13 day paternity leave, and the number is increasing. More and more the men are mothers and we, the ladies, bankers? Fascinating.

Big Problem, Simple Solution

** Henry's big problem
Henry goes to the doctor's surgery to collect his wife Sarah’s test results. The receptionist tells him,
"I'm sorry, but there has been a bit of a mix-up. When we sent your wife's samples to the lab, they got mixed up with samples from another Mrs Cohen and we don't know which one is your wife's. The bottom line is that the situation is either bad or terrible."

"What do you mean?" says Henry.
"Well," says the receptionist, "one Mrs Cohen has tested positive for Alzheimer disease and the other for AIDS. We can't tell which is which."
"That's terrible," says Henry, "can you do the test again?"
"Normally, yes. But your private medical insurance policy won't pay for these expensive tests more than once."

"Well, what am I supposed to do?" says Henry.
The receptionist replies, "The doctor recommends that you drop your wife off in the middle of Oxford Street. If she finds her way home, don't sleep with her."

** Rabbi's Simply Advice.
Abe goes to see his Rabbi.
"Rabbi, something terrible is happening and I have to talk to you about it."
The Rabbi asked, "What's wrong, Abe?"
Abe replied, "My wife is poisoning me."
The Rabbi was very surprised by this and asks, "How can that be?"
Abe then pleads, "I'm telling you, I'm certain she's poisoning me, what should I do?"
The Rabbi then offers, "Tell you what. Let me talk to her, I'll see what I can find out and I'll let you know."

A week later the Rabbi calls Abe and says, " Well, I spoke to your wife. I spoke to her on the phone for 3 hours. You want my advice?"
Abe anxiously say, "Yes, yes."
"Take the poison" says the Rabbi.

Alcohol Makes You Lean

Alcohol does not make you FAT - it makes you LEAN
.... against tables, chairs, floors, walls and ugly people.

I’m tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep.
That’s deep enough. What do you want -
an adorable pancreas?
