eileen's favorite

the housekeeper (who's from morocco and has an accent that makes this story better, but obviously you can't hear that here) asked me today if i like cats. i said no - i don't mind them, but i don't really like them. so then she said 'what do you like? dogs?' 'no.' 'monkeys?' i laughed. 'men?' i laughed and said, 'yes! that's it! very much.' she laughed and said, 'that's every woman's favorite.' eileen was sitting across the room, so i went over to her and said, 'the housekeeper just asked me an interesting question. which do i like best - cats, dogs, or men? what would you say?' without hesitation: 'men! oh yes, men!'
