Mrs. Plant (v.2.0) loved beef ribs. She would finish a rib off by putting the rib in her mouth and removing all the meat. ---

> [@Telemark](#): > > Don’t forget, you have ribs too. A guy I know is an anatomist/dinosaur guy (not sure what his PhD is in). He was in Mexico with his wife, who was enjoying a plate of ribs. Picking up a rib from her discards, he began making scientific observations about the bone; naming specific parts of the rib, commenting on the curvature, etc. She continued eating, but eventually asked why he was sharing this with her when he knew she didn’t enjoy him doing this. Turns out they were equine ribs even though the menu suggested they were bovine. ---

While its plain most women LIKE bbq, it’s not always their choice especially with a group of other women. Granted this isnt a hard and fast rule and their are exceptions. If I could ask, if Mrs. Plant was going out with just other women, do you think they would choose bbq? ---
