Peru, Mexico Finds Hint at Women's Roles

Or, more properly -Archeological finds from Peru and Mexico suggest what the roles of women might have been in ancient civilizations in those countries.

Otherwise, one could read this to mean something like this:

Peru and Mexico, good friends since childhood, were out for a stroll one night on the playa, when Peru said to Mexico, "What ho! What's all this then?" and leant over to pick up a fluttering piece of parchment that was impaled on the snow-white rib of a burro skeleton. "I say," said Mexico,"if I'm not grossly mistaken, that looks like some sort of handwriting! Dash it all, I can't see a thing without my spectacles, though, and this print is dreadfully small. Read it for us, Peru old chap, won't you?" Peru obligingly removed his pocket torch and shone it on the dusty parchment, squinting mightily at the faded writing. Presently, and after much brow-knitting (in his charmingly academic manner) he began to recite what he could deduce from the tattered sheet. "It says here, dear fellow, something about auditioning for "Maude" or "Alice." I wonder what the deuce that's all about?"

Well, one COULD read it that way, you know.

Why they sure DO, the precious little darlings! They try to help you find the limits of your patience, your tolerance of noise, your necessary sleep levels, and your pain threshold. Why, they try to help you in so very very many ways, they surely diddly diddly do, the wittle snookums!
