   Oh, man, you quote Woodie Alan. You even spell his name correctly,   
   sometimes. Do you know how that stereotypes you? Only a certain   
   type of man quotes Woody Alien. Most men don't even know who he   
   is. "Woody what? Woody Allie? Who the f*** us that? Get outa my   
   way, boy, I gotta wash my pickup." You probably own a silk shirt,   
   and aren't afraid to admit to women that you cry. For your own   
   dignity, be like the rest of us and pretend you don't know who   
   Woodee Alias is. Also pretend that you like to watch football.
