Jeff Goldstein Explores Equality

“The yin and yang of intimate interpersonal relationships post, 25” (from the protein wisdom conceptual series)

yin: “Honey? The oil light is coming on in the Land Cruiser again.”

yang: “Uh huh. Well, the plug on the Toyota is underneath the skid plate, so you’re going to need the motorized ratchet set. And when you roll under the truck, make sure you have the emergency brake secured and you aren’t parked on an incline.”

yang: “Oh. And don’t wear anything fancy. Because you’re likely to get covered in axle grease.”

yin:

yang: “What?”

yang: “YOU’VE COME A LONG WAY, BABY! Now hop to it while I throw dinner in the microwave and catch the end of ‘Wheel of Fortune.’”

Ah, yes, gender equity. Here's my version.

yin: "Owwwwwwwwwwwww....."

yang: "What? It doesn't seem so bad. Oh, look! There's the head! This just keeps getting better. What do you think about havin ten of 'em. They're so cute."

yin:

yang: "What?"

yin: "When I get up you're dead. And then I have a list for ya. You're changing the oil for eternity, bud. And taking out the trash. And mowing the lawn. And whatever else I tell ya to do. Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...."

Ten years later.

yin: “Honey? The oil light is coming on in the Land Cruiser again.”

yang: "Skid plate, oil, messy, yada, yada, yada."

yin:

yang: "What?"

yin:

yang: "How long until the statute of limitations...."

yin:

yang: "Right."
