An eight-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a hand holds an envelope addressed to "Mr. & Mrs. Stu Jennings, 2718 State St., Santa Ana, MB 99291." A woman named Barbara argues with her husband. Barbara: "Dammit! I spent 6 years getting a PhD! Why does YOUR name go on letters to us?" Husband: "Yeah, well I spent 36 years carefully preserving my penis! Does that mean nothing?" Barbara: "I spent 36 years with a vagina. What's your point?" Husband: "Oh, yeah, like penis bandits are gonna cut off your vagina. That doesn't even make sense, Barbara." Barbara: "Just tell your friends to put my name on their goddamn letters!" Husband: "And let their guard down for the penis bandits?" Barbara: "Just do it." Husband: "Ugh. Fine." In the final panel he picks up the phone and says, "Hey, Ted, you know how women are irrational?" -- having missed his wife's entire point. Votey (a separate black-and-white sketch): one person asks another, "Why are you up at midnight?" The reply: "The internet needs dick jokes."
