The other day some friends and I were discussing one of the few
recurrent philosophical topics that come up in our conversations:
society as a whole. It was taking its usual course; one of my friends
insisted that society was going to hell, the other was somewhat
neutral, and I thought that people were simply becoming more tolerant
of differences.

My first friend announced (again) that society was on a steady
down-hill road. "Everyone today," she said, "is either messed up in
the head, a druggie, or a nymphomaniac."

My other friend laughed and nodded. Never having heard the word
before, I puzzled over what 'nymphomaniac' could mean.

Trying not to sound stupid, I swallowed my pride and asked, "What's
that?"

"A girl who's obsessed with sex," explained my second friend.

I paused for a moment, thinking. I then turned and asked them, "Then
what is a guy obsessed with sex?"

My first friend had an answer immediately: "Normal!"
