I know silk and synthetics have to be ironed at low temperatures, but why does every iron have a really low setting that warms it up but makes it utterly useless for ironing clothes? Is it to balance out the universe for that setting every toaster has that reduces perfectly good bread to a lump of charcoal? Are the toaster manufacturers in cahoots with the people who make smoke detectors?

"I was just holding it for a friend." You're still holding it and you're still in possession.
"I dropped that $50 bill and that guy picked it up." Your word against his and unless you've got some other evidence, he gets to keep it.

I doubt it. I don't think cave women had the same sex-negative social conditioning women today have. They probably enjoyed it.
