Report From the 2002 World Women's Liberation Conference

 

The Podunk Possum Gazette has provided this report from the 2002 World

Women's Liberation Conference recently held in Podunk, Arkansas:

 

The first speaker, a lady from England stood up and said, " During last

years' conference we spoke about being more assertive with our husbands.

Well, after the conference I went home and told my husband, Barrington,

that I would no longer cook for him and that he would have to do it

himself! After the first day, I saw nothing. After the second day, I

saw nothing. But on the third day, I saw that he had cooked a wonderful

roast lamb. " The crowd cheered.

 

The second speaker, a lady from Russia stood up and said, " After last

years' conference I went home and told my husband, Ivan, that I would no

longer do his laundry and that he would have to do it himself. After

the first day, I saw nothing. After the second day, I saw nothing. But

on the third day, I saw that he had done not only his own washing, but

my washing as well. " The crowd again cheered.

 

The third speaker, a Cajun lady from Tibedoux, Louisiana, stood up and

said, " Afta last yars' conference, I went rat home and tole dat lazy,
