Start the weekend smiling

Yesterday I posted Another Favorite Bill Buckley story. It’s drawn two responses I hope help start your weekend with a smile.

The Buckley story:

During the 1970s a woman member of congress wanted to do away with the traditional usages of “congressman” and “congresswoman.” She favored the gender-neutral “congressperson.”

Buckley didn’t favor her proposal but said he was willing to consider supporting it once the congresswoman, Elizabeth Holtzman, changed her name to Holtzperson.

First response:

I've always wondered why women don't want to be called "wopersons."

And the second:

I still prefer "Congressthieves"
