Billy chuckled softly and shook his head sadly, "I'm afraid that you're badly misinformed Mason. I can think of at least half a dozen areas where a woman could easily out perform a man." He smiled at the ladies, "I'll refrain from mentioning them, but I'm quite sure that the fact remains. If you consider for a few minutes, you may well figure some of those out."<br/><br/>Billy didn't think that the average woman was any better, or worse than a man, but there were always exceptions to every rule... Annie Oakley came to mind just off the top of his head. And, of course, patronizing someone that you may be working closely with was never the best of ideas. It was 1934, afterall and women could vote and had even served in government office before.<br/><br/>He rose as their benefactor entered the room and nodded before sitting down again and crossing his legs comfortably. "Thank you for inviting me, Sir."
