IT TOOK A VERY BRAVE MAN TO WRITE THIS!  IT TAKES AN EVEN BRAVER ONE TO FORWARD IT .. .. ... A son asked his mother the following question: 'Mom, why are wedding dresses white?' The mother looks at her son and replies: 'Son, this shows your friends and relatives that your bride is pure.' The son thanks his Mom and goes off to double-check this with his father. 'Dad why are wedding dresses white?' The father looks at his son in surprise and says: 'Son, all household appliances come in white.'

YEAH! You tell 'em, Kathy! That was nothin' but an OLD sexist joke there, alright! Because NOW of course "Appliances" can come in stainless steel TOO!!!   
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

If a white dress is an indication of purity, do they still make them in white?
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

As I heard at a wedding a few years ago "What's with the white dress? They've been living together for years and already have two kids!" 
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

Nah Kent, happily married and my wife is very aware of the joke. Luckily we can both laugh at things like this and I can just imagine a father muttering this to his son (out of earshot of his wife of course).
No sexism intended although I tend to be more of a stainless appliance man now anyway because you can leave them out in the weather without them going all rusty on me ...........

I'm just glad my wife has a great sense of humor (obviously) as she's a second degree black belt in TKD and taught kickboxing for years. It was absurd when she sparred other women in tournaments as she has a 36 inch inseam. They were barely in the room and she was kicking them in the head.
The whole family was heavily into martial arts for years. Our old joke was, "No, I'm not saying my Dad can beat up your Dad. I'm saying my Mom can beat up your Dad."

This wife has a great sense of humor too, just ask my husband!! There are way too many serious things in this world, we don't need to make any more.
