Arguing with a Woman

Lord Mancroft laments the impossibility of arguing with women

Arguing with a woman is like trying to fold the airmail edition of The Times in a high wind.

—Lord Mancroft

The Times is a newspaper. It used to be large format (ie, it had very large pages). The airmail edition was printed on very thin, light-weight paper.

  Hello every body, i hope you all have a cool evening, which is free from argument, discords, and unrest, its always important to understand each other, rather than arguing, by making your lives miserable, finally i would suggest ‘never argue with —–, because people can’t see the difference’.
  see ya!
