Bill Widman asked Aimee Massey:

If a man says something in the woods and there are no women around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Aimee Massey Well, since forests are typically inhabited by various non-human animals, and these are either male or female, it depends on the sex of the animals who heard him. If they are female, yes, he is probably dead wrong. If they are male, he may be either right or wrong depending on the personal opinions and hang-ups of the males who hear him. And if they are chipmunks of either or both sexes, he is wrong no matter how right he actually is, for chipmunks are the most argumentative and contentious of mammals, and they will disagree with even the most patently correct statement for the pure joy of being contrary.
