Theory #1 - Housewives Rule

Fact:

• bleach is poisonous
• ammonia is poisonous
• bleach and ammonia combined is deadly (thank you Mr. Monk, you saved me from nearly killing myself when I cleaned the bathroom last year at college -- and if you don't believe him, just do a little Google search)
• these are common household items
• housewives handle these chemicals on a regular basis

If housewives utilize deadly chemicals on a regular basis without causing an excessive amount of fatalities to themselves or their families, then wouldn't that make them extremely powerful individuals? So, why do women want careers when they could rule the world from the homestead?

Disclaimer:
I'm sorry, mother, but I can't keep my theories to myself any longer. I made friends at Anderson even though you warned me about my theories. Besides, maybe one day I'll actually hit upon a theory that will solve a serious problem (ie. kooties or sweating or swearing) and make lots of money that will support you in your old age. Please forgive me!
