TIRED OF IT.

After some ages bad elapsed, developing all sorts of problems, womenkind approached the Gods with a large package of something or other. "What have you there?" demanded the Gods sharply, for they suspected a trick. "It is the sum of genius which our emancipation has enabled us to develop!" replied womenkind. "And what, pray, do you wish to do with it?” "We wish to trade it off for real charm!” "Hum! Of course you can’t expect to get much real charm in exchange for even so large a quantity of genius.” "Oh, no! We shall be satisfied with a very little real charm. In fact, we are so disgusted with genius and its wretched fruits that we shajl probably have no more of it in the future, anyway!” Here womenkind gave their package a vicious little kick to indicate their disappointment and chagrin.
