Green In His Eye?
This is what a traffic cop thinks of women: "Women drivers, at least, are far more discourteous than men. They are too conscious of their appearances to concentrate on driving. They feel too superior to the mere pedestrian, for instance, and very seldom give him the right of way. Any glance in the rear mirror loses its origina] significance, and instead of checking up on the car behind the woman driver uses it to re-arrange her hair. Another thing, they rely too much on their femininity to get them out of a jam." We suspect this traffic cop has been "bitten" at some time.
