With Friends Like These...

There's not enough weeks in the month. I just don't think it's very fair.

The average woman gets an average of 3 weeks of freedom out of the month. She starts her period, is on it for a week, gets 3 weeks of bliss, and it starts all over again.

Here's what I want to know: Why do animals bleed for 2 weeks out of the bloomin' year and we get it EVERY month? Sure, most mammals have whole litters while us human types usually have one or two. I could see the monthly thing being necessary during, say, the Dawn of Time, but not now.

C'mon, there's 6 billion people in this world today. Baby girls in China are neglected and literally left in the garbage just for being female. I really just don't see the need for a monthly ritual.

I think we could all live in peace if it happened less often. Every time we get our "little friend" we can become tired and are often in pain, thus creating crankiness that affects us all. Think of it, divorce rates would decline, trees and cotton plants could be saved...

Although, the sales of salty snacks might go down, but who are we kidding? This is America, Land of the Free, Home of the Salty Snacks.

I for one could do without the whole thing. It's a nuisance that makes me incredibly tired and everything hurts.

With "friends" like these, who needs enemies?
