Gender of a Cabbage

Question:

I have a friend, whom I introduced to the hornlist some time ago. She enjoyed it, especially those humorous posts from Cabbage. She quit the list, however, upon the discovery that Cabbage was a boy veggie and not a girl veggie. Somehow, she had developed the mistaken impression that the "head" of the list was a she. The shock caused her to loose faith, and now she is gone. I do wonder, is there a way to ascertain the gender of a cabbage, without embarrassing oneself?

inquiringly yours,

Answer:

Some nosy person on the list became concerned about Cabbage gender:

I have had no trouble ascertaining my gender without embarassment. I do this by inspecting my oreogenous zones. If you suffer from embarassment, I suggest you do all your ascertaining behind a screen. This will be excellent practice for your next audition, expecially if you play accordian.

Some of you may appreciate learning that my contributions to the world of physics are every bit as intellectual and demanding as my contributions to the horn list. Those who feel up to the challenge may consult my latest article in The Physics Teacher, "My Teacher is a Blowhard." You may find it by pointing your computers at
