Indeed.  And maybe it would have been a teeny bit easier going down if the
transgression of gender-exclusiveness had been limited to the aged
'quotations of wisdom,' but the modern gentleman that offered them (not
Doss, but the "Jack of all Trades") simply carried the transgression clean
over into 1997.

Could it be that some haven't heard?
