Hi, Alexander!  Recently you wrote in a message to All:

AK>  Women don't like rain. It resets their faces to the
AK>  factory settings. ;-)


          Hmm... very clever.  As a woman I could offer scientific & anecdotal
evidence to the contrary, but in the spirit of this game I'll add that when my
mother applied lipstick etc. my father often remarked that she was "putting on
her war paint".  She didn't usually wear makeup at home or in hospital.  As we
say in English, though... it takes all kinds to make a world.

          On one occasion while I was visiting my mother in hospital I noticed
that her room mate seemed to be grumbling to herself.  My mother confided that
... having been scheduled for surgery the same day... this woman got up early,
spent at least an hour applying makeup & painting her nails & whatnot, and was
informed as soon as their nurse entered the room that she would have to revert
to the factory settings.  When she complained to my mother, my mother answered
"How would the doctor know if you were turning blue with that stuff on?"  :-))
