I need bigger earphones, or another table. Two unhappy middle-aged women to my left are screeching, squawking on about some friend's son's wife's sister.

"kids these days" one just said.

Why are some women so prone to talk talk talk, to degrade “friends” and to encourage each other to hate their enemies?

Please lord let us be people who aim to “guard each man's dignity and save each man's pride” by clearing our minds and holding our tongues.

Now they're talking politics. Really... somebody shoot me.
