NAME
woman - an emotionally responsive system support interface
SYNOPSIS
(undocumented.)
OPTIONS
--do-what-I-mean
The only option to woman, it is always implicitly enabled.
DESCRIPTION
Woman is a powerful and highly seductive control application,
dressed up as a pretty tool to suit your needs and desires.
USAGE
The user may start a conversation at any time. If there is
a telephone device available, there are no spatial limitations.
Instead of boring you with dull technical details, woman will
tell you what it feels like and what colour of dress would go
best with it.
For continued correct functioning, woman needs regular attention
and casual gifts. Woman becomes unresponsive when upset for some
reason or no reason at all. When this happens, woman returns
"you know what I mean" on all requests, until the mood passes,
for some reason or no reason at all.
FILES
Woman does not keep any files, but remembers everything you type.
SEE ALSO
girlfriend(6), gifts(5), sex(8), marriage(7), mistress(4)
BUGS
There are no bugs. Woman meticulously hides all of them.
AUTHOR
Unknown to man.
