Are you a ????

Some men were sitting at the bar talking about their professions, and how they have become objects and behaviors to be cataloged and ranked, instead of people.

The first guy says "I'm a Y.U.P.P.I.E. - a Young, Urban, Professional, Peaceful, Intelligent, Ecologist."

The second guy says "I'm a D.I.N.K. - a Double Income, No Kids."

The third guy says "I'm a R.U.B. - a Rich, Urban, Biker.

They turn to two ladies sitting at a nearby table and ask "What are you?" She replies "I'm a W.I.F.E. - Wash, Iron, Fetch, Etc."

The second girl volunteers "I'm a Babe In Total Control of Herself. :0)

So . . .

next time someone refers to you by calling you that name, just smile, and say "Darn straight and thank you for noticing. :^)
