you're making me sexist

Tonight;s dinner was one of my especialities that I like to call "CHINA NOODLE" . It calls for a number of good ingredients for example TOF peanuts egg noodle zuchinni pepper etc . Another one I had to pick up from the store was GREEN ONION . I went to the mainstream grocer instead of my firendly cooperative due to the rain but still wanted to fo the extra mile ($) for the organic item.

THe organic green onion wasn't too much more $ so I went ahead and got it . Another thing was it came in a plastic bag but that wasn't much more packaging than the standard pull down one . (wow this is getting boring but almost at the essential point..keep paying attention) Anyways the packing was what they called "BRANDED" as opposed to a generic piece of produce. I payed it no mind but when I got home I realized the brand : " ORGANIC GIRL". That struck me as odd that they would risk alienating half of their target audiences . They must figure the females are more into this type of thing [ not sure how that makes me feel] .

One other thing about the packaging was that it exclaimed that the onions were not just "washed" but "washed^2" or washed to the second power or "washed squared". In fact they were washed twice which is not the second power of once unless by one you mean the square root of two

1 = √2 ?????????

MOral of the story: I don;t mind using a product for girls but don't come in my face with a false exponent! -kojak

    You know what really makes me sexist? When you stand in line for a long time at the bathroom. And you see that teh Girls bathroom is open, and you say, I am a good man. I will not go into the girls room. I can hold it.So yo u wait and then a GIRL COMES OUT OF THE BOYS bathroom. It happened to me so next time I went to the LADIES ROOM. and gave a big smile to the girl who saw me exit- like Hey, What can I say!
