and F-wives (a total failure the flunking grade). remember that this is a classification from a TV's standpoint, therefore, extremely biased.

A-WIVES. Before looking at these marvellous specimens. of the human race I guess I should mention the A-plus category which simply does not exist inasmuch as she is an ideal in the dreams of most TV's. The A-plus wife goes into ecstasy every time we dress up. She person- ally takes us by the hand and proceeds to make a lady out of us. She is the happiest when in our feminine pre- sence.

At this point it is imperative to point out one of the most important things a TV MUST DO. Learn to think clearly and to EXPRESS his thoughts with logic, conviction, coherence and vividness. It is really a shame that so few TV's can be fluent enough to present their case without stumbling all over the place, full of hesitations, and at a loss for words. This inability to
