[5] : THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993)
abdomen, n.  the temple of the god stomach, in whose worship, with
sacrificial rights, all true men engage.  from women this ancient
faith commands but a stammering assent.  they sometimes minister at
the altar in a half-hearted and ineffective way, but true reverence
for the one deity that men really adore they know not.  if woman had a
free hand in the world's marketing the race would become
graminivorous.
