THE SPIN CYCLE

Do you want to know the one thing that really separates men and women?

Cartwheels.

Seriously, you see any woman under the age of forty outside on a sunny day and I guarantee that she is thinking about doing a cartwheel, has just finished thinking about cartwheeling, or she will be thinking about cartwheels any second now. That is, of course, if she's not already spinning on her hands in mid-cartwheel when you pass her. You see a man outside on that same day and I can pretty well guarantee that he is not thinking about doing a cartwheel.

This is the female psyche. Women associate good weather with performing cartwheels. No one knows why - they just do.

"Sure is sunny today, Hannah!" "Yes, and I've just got to be upside down for a second, second-and-a-half."

I don't think that there's anything wrong with a good cartwheel, let me add. If you feel the urge to balance on your hands for a second you go right ahead, spin away. Psychiatrists, however, are paid thousands to make these sorts of observations. Wait 'til I get a deal for my book - Men are from Earth, Women are, also, from Earth. Then we'll split the psychiatrists from the klowns.
