Women are like elephants - they never forget.

I remember our history teacher was telling us in Sec 1 about why she chose to work in a boys school instead of a girls school.

She said that girls might buy cakes and all that, but you can scold a boy one day and the next day he'll wave hi to you. That won't happen with girls.

On a side note, I was accused over the weekend of disliking women. How shocking. In any case, as my oft-repeated maxim goes:

"Men like women.
Women like women.
Nobody likes men."
