If you've bucked the trend in your own relationship, then bravo to you, sir. My wife doesn't even pronounce her O's any more when she speaks because she's afraid I may get the wrong idea.

I've always heard that, if you can't run with the big dogs, you should stay on the porch. My question is, why does one's inability or lack of desire to run with big dogs confine him to the porch? Why shouldn't such a man be allowed to roam the rest of the house or even go for a nice walk in the park?
