"One day Abraham Lincoln was riding horseback through the woods he met a woman who was also on horseback. As he stopped to let her pass, the woman also stopped and starred at him intently. She said, "I do believe you are the ugliest man I ever saw." Lincoln replied, "Madam, you are probably right but I can't help it." The woman answered back, "No, you can't help it, but you might stay at home."

Roger,

I think this quote would have been funnier if the woman had ended her comment with these words: "No, you can't help it, but you might stay at home more often."
