From the NYT:

David Walentas, a realtor in NYC, is shocked that women earn money, buy property, and (get this) write checks!

He also sees more married women writing the $60,000-to-$100,000 deposit checks. “It’s the women’s checks,” he said. “It’s not like a dual account — Joe and Suzy. It’s Suzy. I’m amazed.”

Idiot.

A conversation between myself and Dan the other day:
Dan: I’ll be right over, I just have to check my mailbox.
Me: Silly CS and your silly mailboxes.
Dan: You don’t have a department mailbox?
Me: There’s six hundred of us! No.
Dan: How do your professors hand back your homework?
Me: Our what?
