JANE SAYS: The problem with men is that they were born men.  Men don't know how to relate to a woman.  If a man can't relate to me, it's a pretty hopeless situation for the world.

Take Eddy, my blind date last week.  Eddy arrived at my front door with a wad of wilted weeds which he claimed to be daisies.  But I know they were weeds because almost immediately, my eyes teared, I began sneezing and my face broke out in an instant rash.

It was a huge disappointment because I had carefully prepared for the date - even going as far as to purchase a new brand of perfume and a new version of makeup as I was picking up my new kitty, Sherman from the pet store.

The evening got progressedly worse.  Eddy chose to take me out to a steakhouse which was little more than a hole in the wall.  The band consisted of a humped back hick blowing in a jug; peanuts were strewn all over the floor and couples were dancing to the blow of the jug.  Very disgustful date!

Eddy was very skimpy on the price, too, ordering twenty dollar steaks for both of us.  Just what does that brand of cheapness say to a woman, I ask?  And he didn't even ask me what I wanted!

I am accustomed to champagne, fine wine, romantic violin music, caviar - GOOD caviar and atmosphere that a princess would be comfortable in.  I suppose the worst moment of the date was when he left the inept waitress a $10 tip. Imagine, a waitress worth half as much as a cheap steak for a cheapskate!  Eddy, thank you for ruining my life.
