It is said that women's periods are a lot like airline meals. We hate them, we complain about them, we dread them--but just let the flight attendant try to skip you!

 

Not all women have bad things to say about PMS but the only good thing anyone has to say about it is that it ends --like surgery or senior year of high school.

 

Scientists study the human brain on OxyContin and Ecstasy but not on PMS which afflicts half of the world. Why can't science explain and fix:

 

Assuaging the feeling of being fat and bloated by...eating an eight ounce bag of baked potato chips?

 

Doing it again, the next day?

 

Being so brain dead you don't remember your computer password...but snapping to attention with insomnia when you actually lie down to sleep?

 

Feeling so weepy you'll cry about the loss of your BFF in sixth grade but so mean you want to shove people to the side with "sidewalk rage" and "hallway rage"?

 

Dropping a full bottle of cranberry juice you're holding firmly in your hand or hitting a doorway frame for no apparent reason?
