A no-holds-barred country doctor offers some salty, surprising and non-uxorious* comments on man's womb-to-tomb problems and challenges -

"Most women have bitchy spells; if your wife does, don't beat her. Just give her the impression you will if she doesn't pipe-down."

"Every unattached woman classifies all men at first glance as possible fathers for her expected brood. The second look, however, is as calculating as that of a gimlet-eyed banker making a loan on a hayfield."

"You and I know that men with enough drive to make a success in business also have to struggle to keep their marriage vows."

"The higher you climb, the more you show your behind, and there is an awful temptation to kick it."


*Uxorious - "excessively or dotingly fond of, or submissive to, a wife." - Webster
