Read MoreI’m Feeling A Little Sad For Men
Today I’m feeling a little sad for men. [Tweet “Today I’m feeling a little sad for men. Hear me out”] I admit I have taken my fair share of swipes at men over the years. I almost can’t help myself. Men are the low-hanging fruit of humor, mostly because they are so consistent. For example,…
