Several gentlemen were discussing the ’question: What do women like best to do? “To get married,” said one. “To be in love,” said another. “They would rather dance,” remarked a fourth. “What’s the matter with putting on finery?” “Shopping,” suggested a fifth. An elderly gentleman finally remarked: “The female sex like all the "things you have mentioned, but my experience teaches me that there is one thing they prefer over all, and that is to ‘boss the shanty;’ ” “Kerrect!” replied the others, in chorus.
