From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2008-01-26:

"I jumped through hoops to keep that man,
 Oh how did I get it so wrong,
 I tried new positions,
 I learned his friends' names,
 I made myself sit through football games!"
 
 -- Mercella Puppini, from her song Jilted, written for her trio The Puppini Sisters. (The other members are Kate Mullins and Stephanie O'Brien and they are not sisters.) The song was recorded on their album The Rise & Fall of Ruby Woo.

[I must note with some amusement at the stereotype, that of my close friends, a slight majority of the ones seriously into watching football, and the overwhelming majority of the ones I've sat down with to watch a game on television, are women. At least two are much more serious about the sport than I am.]
