Personally, I think anyone who took offense at this thread really needs to get a life. There are certainly some folks on this board (and life in general) who have mighty thin skin. Perhaps they should live within a bubble.

I for one have found this thread to be hilarious.
But then in my line of work one needs to know how to take a joke!
That goes for life in general. There seem to be too many people who take life too seriously to have a sense of humor! As Einstein is reported to have said, "Life is too important to be taken seriously."

I could be wrong but maybe this post ruffled a few feathers. When I first saw it, I wondered what Trace was referring to. Rape and pillage? But I just ignored it because I really wasn't sure and was too lazy to google Romans and Vikings.If you are to develop a "Doing It Right - Females" course, Bill, may I suggest researching the techniques used in Roman sacks and Viking invasions?

As a means of clarification, we have spoken with Trace and the apology was not intended for any regular members of this board. He had his own reason for posting his apology but, be rest assured, it was not due to any negative feedback by way of PM. Now please feel free to enjoy the thread as it was intended to be enjoyed.

I dated a woman like that once, briefly...This thread reminds me of meeting a Cave Diver in the Red Sea. He said that you haver to give caves their due respect or they will kill you... Sounds appropriate.
Guess it's safer without cartoon illustrations...?Personally, I think anyone who took offense at this thread really needs to get a life. There are certainly some folks on this board (and life in general) who have mighty thin skin. Perhaps they should live within a bubble.
What would Patton do...? 
Yeah I know: I've been branded a non-group person - doesn't play well with others. I am so upset.
Let me know if you want to have some fun, without the drama - I'm good for that.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Ah--so there are irregular members of this board that must be catered to. I see.
Serutan doesn't help these folks, I take it?

Everyone,
I just want to clarify that the tone of my post was just for fun and giggles and not really scathing toward women in general or anyone in particular. Babyduck and I were working together on a T-shirt similar in jest for her dive center some time ago and I thought about a T-shirt for my own company along those lines and just thought I'd post something that may entertain some. Realizing that I have hurt and offended some people with this post, I just want to apologize for any misunderstandings. My post also doesn't reflect how I feel about the girlfriend mentioned for whom I still have love and caring, so... can't we all just lighten up a bit?
If anyone has any other cave vs. men/women sayings that would look good on the back of a T-shirt please share.
~ Trace
From left field.... why women are better than caves...
