They might have to turn to it in China, with the disparity between the number of boys to girls there. (The alternative would be forcing the women into prostitution in order to service all the men. )

I'd like a lube and oil change. Top off the fluid levels. Grease the ol' chassis.

And if you have time would you inflate the tires?


Ah, service with a smile!

Re: Women's Work
See:

"The alternative would be ... the women ... to service all the men."

That's what I read.

For the guys its about quality, for the gals it seems it's about quantity...

You know...economies of scale, and all that...
