Yet another Toast to the Lassies

I’d dare to toast those who accompany us men. Whilst we always see ourselves as the cave men hunting for the game with the women tending the fire, we probably have to change our mind in a way completely contrary to that kind of thinking.

What is the inner sense of women. A bad phrase I once heard from an Englishmen was saying of “her indoors”. Seeing us men as cavemen – we do not have doors – so it cannot be true at all.

At the other hand - whom of our women does really care for the fire? To be honest, that is not the question anymore. We live in our, more or less, separated homes, we have our professions and, women do so as well.

The big difference between women and men is that men have to listen to their chatter  and women have to care for parking our cars carefully.

But how does it lead us now to the inner sense of women. If no one would tell us endless stories we complain about, how pure would be the life of men. If no one would take us home from a pub in our cars, how exhausting would be the life of men. If no one would cook us a meal when we are back home from work (i.e. hunting the game) how would we starve. And, in the end, if there would be no one comforting us in times of flue and cold and toothache and in all the nights we are lonsome, how cruel would be the live for men.

As women now have their jobs, raising kids or putting their share into the family income, we men should be grateful having partners like them. In that sense I’d like to thank the lassies for preparing the meal at all other times except this remarkeble evening and for being with us.

That for I’d like to raise the glass to those we seemingly cannot life with and we definitely cannot life without!

Was ist ein "Burns-Supper"?

Und was hat das mit der US-amerikanischen TV-Serie Lassie (1954-1974) zu tun?

P.S.: "remarkeble" ?
