“Yeah?” he asked. “Some problem here?” “This ground cover is all male,” I said. “All-male, and all of it rather closely related to ragweed.” “Humm,” he said. “And that big row of junipers you’ve got there,” I said, pointing to side of his yard, “looks like every one of them is a male, too. That ash tree of yours, notice how it doesn’t have any seeds?” “Yeah?” “It’s a male tree. Actually, your entire yard, everything in it except that climbing rose bush on front porch, all of it could have been designed to cause allergies. Anybody here have allergies?” “Sure,” he said, “my wife. She’s got terrible allergies.” I looked at yard full of male ground cover, all of it in full bloom. “Well,” I said, “I’d be willing to bet she’s having allergies right now.”“Yep,” he said, “she certainly is.” Now, I didn’t even bother to ask him if his wife kept their house spotless and dust-free. It was a nice house, in an expensive neighborhood, and somehow I seriously doubted, that his wife’s allergies were being caused by Women’s Lib.
