I cut down trees, I wear high heels...

...suspenders and a bra! I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my great papa!

Last night before going out to an Art Prom, I came across this article. Ruth and I both found it quite amusing.


Female kidney turns lumberjack on to housework

A Croatia lumberjack claims he started 'enjoying housework and knitting' after he was given a female kidney.

Stjepan Lizacic, 56, from Osijek, is suing his local health authority because he says he's become a laughing stock.

He says his life changed from enjoying heavy drinking sessions with pals to prefering housework after the operation.

He told local newspaper 24sata: "The kidney transplant saved my life, but they never warned me about the side effects.

"I have developed a strange passion for female jobs like ironing, sewing, washing dishes, sorting clothes in wardrobes and even knitting."

He pointed out that before the kidney transplant he would not have been seen dead doing the housework, and expected his wife to do it all, but now found it both relaxing and fulfilling.

He said: "My wife is the only one that is pleased. I do most of the housework now, and I blame the hospital that transplanted me the kidney of a 50-year-old woman instead of a man's kidney."

His wife Radmila added: "If the new femine side to him is confined to housework I am very happy, I only hope he doesn't start looking at other men."

Oh, stupid man.

I guess what I find the most amusing is that he said he now enjoys knitting. It's not too dificult to vacuum the floor or fold a sweater but kniting involves active learning. Maybe he was sitting around one evening and asked his wife- "Dear, can you teach me how to knit? It's my goddamn kidneys again... they're craving to know how to faire isle."




Until Later,
