Is there a gene missing in men’s ear canals that gives them selective hearing?
———- from Sue Neff of Missoula, MT
Yes, you could say that. That particular gene resides on the Ear, Nose and Throat Chromosome and also suppresses emotive speech. When a man suspects that a woman wants to talk about their relationship, this gene literally takes over the autonomic nervous system, causing rapid, shallow breathing, a drop in blood pressure, and an intense desire to watch sports on television. Biogenetic engineering hopes to create a new “feminist” male, whose genetic makeup will more closely mirror what women want men to be. So far the only working prototype is celebrity John Davidson and, based on this data, the FDA is considering banning experimentation on living organisms.
