A quotation from Terry Pratchett

In the jungles of central Klatch there are, indeed, lost kingdoms of mysterious Amazonian princesses who capture male explorers for specifically masculine duties. These are indeed rigorous and exhausting and the luckless victims do not last long.*
 
* This is because wiring plugs, putting up shelves, sorting out the funny noises in attics, and mowing lawns can eventually reduce even the strongest constitution.

Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
Discworld No. 9, Eric (1990)

A quotation from Terry Pratchett

Not for the first time she reflected that there were many drawbacks to being a swordswoman, not least of which was that men didn’t take you seriously until you’d actually killed them, by which time it didn’t really matter anyway.

Honourable Mention and note to myself.

This tennis court is by 'design' and not a mistake giving #ArynaSabalenka (woman's nos 1) a chance against #NickKyrgios (Mens 671) in the #BattleOfTheSexes tennis match in Dubai yesterday.

Sabalenka's side of the court was reduced in size by 9% in the hope of a more even exhibition game did not pan out.
