And thank you for the recognition. I've found in my little
lifetime here among the Earthlings that stereotypes do exist (one
need not be a stay-at-home-mom or even female to be a helpless,
submissive housewife personality). It's when we start pinning
them on groups based on looks versus individuals based on actions
that we get into trouble. For that reason, my sisters are always
eager to tell me Jewish American Princess jokes, only instead of
J.A.P., it's "Spoiled Chrysler Executive's Daughter," making *me*
the blunt end of the joke. Trouble is, it usually fits!
