No Offense to the Neck . . .

A week or so ago, we were talking with friends about the statement, "The man is the head, but the woman is the neck and the neck can turn the head any way she wants." (quoted from MBFGW)

It gave me pause for at least twenty four hours thereafter.

Because, really?

1. It's false. The brain moves the head (and everything else, truthfully).

And 2 . . . the neck HAS no brain (of its own - the brain doesn't tend to fair well outside the head). Rather, the neck is a mindless tool which serves its purpose but mainly takes orders from the brain and houses the hoses that move things from point A to point B. Not to mention the fact that it tends to get "wrenched" easily. Do you, as a woman, want to be associated with that? Not me.

I'd rather be the heart. :)
