"Silent On A Peak In Darien"-Or "Kismet"
An interview with the average woman, proving once more and with a banal finality that woman's work is never done.
Question: How does it feel to be the average woman?
Answer: Let me go on record as saying no woman is ever average. That is a privilege reserved for men alone.
Question: Give your objections to men in general.
Answer: I feel that most women object to most men because the men have so many objections about women. Being nagged at constantly by your mental inferior gives one a feeling of mild hydrophobia. It's a case of reciprocal objection.
Question: You do not agree then that most men are misunderstood?
Answer: It isn't a question of trying to understand men. It's just trying to stand them.
Question: Do you agree that money is everything in life, or could you be happy in a little rose-covered cottage in the slums?
Answer: If the slums were in a good residential district, I guess I wouldn't mind.
Question: Could you give some advice to the newly entering freshwoman on how to get along with her sisters.
Question: Do you think prohibition is right, or should it be repealed in Kansas.
Answer: The only way to get along with another woman is to sheath your claws and stand back at a safe distance.
Answer: I was under the impression that it had.
Question: Do you think beer should
e sold in the Union fountain?
be sold in the Union town
Answer: That is a leading question,
and I never answer leading questions
unless I am sure they will lead me
along the paths of righteousness.
Question: Enough of trivialities Under existing present world conditions do you think a girl should marry a man just going into the army?
Answer: Let us merely say I think a girl should marry, and if she has to take on Uncle Sam to accomplish her purpose in life, that is merely another burden which she will have to shoulder bravely.
Question: Do you think that Iowa State will lose to Kansas?
Answer: (Silence).
Question (louder) Do you think Iowa State will lose to Kansas?
Answer: (Silence) louder
Question: Do you have any pertinent remarks to make on women's clothes this year?
Answer: Nothing except I feel that Schiaperelli and Chanel had better design a few models to go with those new glass brick bomb shelters.
Question: In conclusion, could you give a few general remarks to give this interview a feeling of purpose?
Answer: It's going to rain, isn't it?
