What Is a Cougar?

Well we all know it is a large meat eating member of
the cat family, but what else? Only in America could
they come up with a name for a woman over 40 who has a
boyfriend ten years younger than herself.

There is no equal name for a man who dates women 10
years younger, unless you regard 'lucky bastard' as
such. Though some women refer to such men as 'dirty
old men.' I don't think women in this situation
would like to be called 'dirty old women'. Yes
cougar has a kind of ring to it. Of course we all
know about Demi and Ashton, but she is not the only
one, but I have to protest about an ad I saw during
the week on Go for The Nanny at 7 p.m. 3 days a week.
It referred to Nanny Fine as a cougar. How wrong can
you be!! She was only about mid 30's when she married
Maxwell and he was in his mid 40's, so no cougar there!

Perhaps the announcer should check what he is reading
next time and he might not make such a stupid mistake!
