 Low Blows:
 Let's say a man and woman are watching a boxing match on TV.  One

 A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the
 garbage, answer the phone, read a book, get the mail.   A man will dress up

 weddings, women talk about "the ceremony".  Men laugh about "the bachelor
 party".
