When Lysistrata references come in handy

changeyourstars8There are days when I love my job. And for once, I'm not being sarcastic. ;-)
When I came in, my coworker was rightfully irritated with one of the regulars. Said regular is either 1) a complete misogynist, or 2) pretending to be a misogynist in order to bug the counter staff. Either way, he's an idiot.
Today he came up to us and slammed his hands down on the counter and started going into his usual spiel (about how women shouldn't vote, own property, be 'allowed to have' education or birth control, etc.). But this time, I interrupted him.
Idiot: "No vote for women!"
Me: "No sex for men!"
Idiot: *gapes for a moment, then smirks* "Well, now the women's lib is coming out."
Me: "It never leaves. You, however, are welcome to."
Idiot: *mutters something, and while he does not leave, he is blessedly quiet the rest of the morning*

Everything old, is new again these days....
