A Woman Thing
Pair with You Oughta Know by Alanis Morrisette
A peri-menopausal woman walks into a bar. She looks around then heads for man nursing a beer.
“Where the hell have you been?” she screams at him “You were supposed to be home hours ago!”
For a second she looks like she is going to punch him in the face, but instead she slides down on a bar stool, leans over the counter, and sobs so much her shoulders shake. After a while, she gets up, wipes her forehead, and marches out.
“I have no idea who that was,” the man says as he orders another beer.
