“With women, or even with men, one has to roll with the punches.” –[Steve Jones paraphrase]. “Yeah, #one has to be able to take being the butt of a joke.”–John Rubens’ life experience. Women nowadays set me up for a punchline. [C concretekiss.com] Own words set up punchline.

I looked at the screen behind and said, “I used to be like that.”

“That’s what I mean,” she said

I rolled my hands over an imaginary pot belly which I was filling out quickly.
