*** REPLACE THIS SEX WITH YOUR MONEY ***
From Time magazine, November 4, 1985 issue, under "Business Notes":
"'`"'`"'`"'`"'`"'`"'`"'`"'`"'`"'`"'`"'`"'`"'`"'`"'`"'`"'`"'`"'`"'`"'`
". . . MONEY magazine polled a national sample of 2,491 adults, all of
whom described themselves as the main financial decision makers in their
households. Sixty-three percent of the respondents were men; 37% were
women. Among the findings: 51% of the women polled said they think about
money more often than sex, in contrast to only 27% of the men. One
sobering statistic: nearly one-third of all the women said they enjoy money
more than sex; a mere 26% favored sex. Men had decidely different
priorities: 47% voted for sex, while only 16% of them opted for money . . ."

[I can't help wondering if those women enjoy money more than sex simply
because they *get* a lot more money than sex :-) ]
Comments . . . ?

arguments to /dev/null. Logic does not apply in human relations - thank Hera!)

I know myself linked by chains of fires
To every Woman who has kept a hearth.
In the resinous smoke
I smell hut, castle, cave,
Mansion and hovel,
See in the shifting flame my mother
and grandmothers out over the world

Wait a minute. Did Time magazine conduct a poll that said most women thought money was more important than sex? Or did Money magazine conduct a poll that said most women thought sex was more important than time? Or did Sex magazine conduct a poll that said most of the time women were more important than money? Or did Women magazine conduct a poll that said that sex and money were both important but it all depended on what time it was? I'm confused... -- Anything's possible, but only a few things actually happen. Rich Rosen pyuxd!rlr

Contrapositively, I suspect that more men think about sex more than money because they can get money a lot more easily than they can get sex. "Which sex is getting the short end of the stick here?" Why ask? Because to answer that question is to answer the question "which is better, sex or money" -- which, as the poll showed, depends on your gender. Actually, since men are trained to channel all their needs for physical affection into needs for sex, and they get so little physical affection, I'm not surprised that the poll showed the differences it did. --Jamie. ...!ihnp4!alberta!ubc-vision!ubc-cs!andrews "What *can* you say?
