Ever Meet q Nervous Monk?

There Is a natural nerv-
BUSINESS in women. I do not
understand it. Nor do I in
tend to rationalize it. The
ladies are born with the small
jumps. They worry about
events which have not &C.
CURED, and they are prone
to display happiness through
tears.
1t is difficult to say what
attracts the male to them,
although I have a suspicion.
1t is twice as difficult to
define what attracts the
ladies to the men; most men
look like a large lump of
pulsating shortening, with
whiskers. Still, men aren't
perpetually nervous. Numb,
perhaps. But not nervous.
THE WORD RELAX is
used most by those who can
not. Women discuss it as
though it were some remote
panacea attainable only I'M
der a hair dryer or at 4
cocktail party. Sometimes
two women can achieve it on
a telephone, saying well,
what's new?" to each other
for 20 minutes.
Ever shake hands with a
group Of ladies at a party?
The hands come in four
types: Burning hot; freezing;
trembling; clammy. They
stalk the rest room in coveyS,
putting on new faces before
breaking in the old. They are
always ready to confide in
each other, about a third
party. They nod agreement
to each other even when they
don't comprehend the prem
Use.
Smiles flash on and off
like neon signs; girdles are
surreptitiously yanked down
and necklines are traced with
nervous finger tips. They
