Something the brain damaged student said in class today, a propos A Streetcar Named Desire:

"Stanley is Social Man but Mitch is Man Thinking, and women like Social Man better, it's evolutionary. But sometimes I think women look at Man Thinking and wonder, 'What is that man thinking?'"

It's all, of course, evolutionary.

half-baked analogy

What is that man, Man Thinking, thinking? Something of the same relationship obtains in... in what, I don't know, the world I picture you inhabiting. Aren't you at a university where your girlfriend learns to measure brains, and where they misdiagnose brain damage, and now apparently there is a brain-damaged student taking classes with you or from you.

Well, this needs more baking to actually become a witticism. But I serve it now.
