Women fake orgasms but men fake an entire relationship

If evil be spoken of you and it be true, correct yourself, if it be a lie, laugh at it.
Epictetus

"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. And what do you get at the end of it? A death. What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, then you got to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, get laid, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating in warm liquid... and you check out as a gleam in somebody's eye!"

Sean Morey

How's about some bitchy author-on-author action?
