"But how can one blame me when
every time I step out my front door,

:07:04
I meet fresh proof that the female
archetypes are alive and well."

:07:09
"The mother, the virgin,
the whore, the crone."

:07:14
"They're elbowing you in the subway,
stealing your cabs,

:07:17
and overwhelming you
with perfume in elevators."

:07:21
"But perhaps in fairness
to the fairer sex,

:07:23
I do need to broaden my horizon and add
some new goddesses to the pantheon."

:07:28
"I would like to nominate
for deity the cheerleader, the coed...

:07:33
and the man-eater, the last
of which concerns me most today."

:07:37
"In ancient Greece, this fearsome female
was known as Erinys,

:07:41
the devouring death goddess."
:07:43
"In India, she is Kali,
:07:45
who likes to devour
her boyfriend Shiva's entrails..."

:07:48
"while her yoni devours
his dot, dot, dot... never mind."

:07:52
"In Indonesia, the bloody-jawed man-eater
is called Ragma."

:07:58
You notice these are
all countries without cable.

:08:02
"And in Hale, Maryland,
:08:05
where she helps run
the family hardware store,

:08:08
she is known as Miss Maggie Carpenter,
a.k.a. the Runaway Bride."

:08:13
"What is unusual about
Miss Carpenter...

:08:17
is that she likes to dress her men up
as grooms before she devours them."

:08:22
One antique hot-water handle
with the "hot" still on it.

:08:28
Guaranteed to fit
any American Standard cast-iron tub...

:08:32
with a four-inch center mount
made between 1924 and 1938.

:08:37
In other words,
Mr. Paxton,

:08:40
I think you are out of the doghouse
with Mrs. Paxton.

:08:42
Hallelujah!
:08:44
I'll see you later.
I'll put it on your charge.

:08:46
There's a possibility
she hasn't seen this yet.

:08:51
Maybe she just hasn't picked up a paper.
Know what I mean?

:08:56
- Or not.
- [Man]Maggie?

:08:59
Earl, you don't need an air-conditioner.
You need an attic fan.
