Ouch your first oxymoron hurt, so I'm gonna give you osme more.

Hello, 'understanding lady' and 'female genius' are both very real!
Speaking of Oxymorons, have you heard of the book "Oxymoronica"? According to the author Dr. Mardy Grothe, "oxymoronica" (a word he coined) are phrases that may appear illogical or self-contradictory, but make a lot of sense at aa deeper level.
Some examples:
"Marriage is a mistake every man should make" ~ George Jessel
"People have one thing in common: they are all different" ~ Robert Zend
"When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other" ~ Eric Hoffer
"I never let my schooling interfere with my education" ~ Mark Twain
"When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her" ~ Sacha Guitry
The book is packed with a ton of these really wonderful phrases, perhaps I'll borrow your idea and do a post on them soon.
Hi Lotus,
Sounds like a great book, will look it up.
I really liked this one...its so true:
"When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other" ~ Eric Hoffer
lol@ "mature man" and the way male readers responded!!! :DDD
How abt "Native Americans", by the way ??
And for Oxymoronica:
Lee Iococca in his autobiography :
"People want economy and they will pay any price to get it."
Hey Moi, how have you been? Thats a good one from Lee Iacocca :)
