He, his wife Rita, a legal secretary, son Adrian, 6, and daughter Clarissa, 5 months, make up the classic family of four, and their income of $44,000--a bit more than half earned by Rita--is smack in the middle nationally.

In addition, phrases like "get off you knees" were directed at a salesperson (though gender neutrality doesn't hide much here) trying to gain favor with a particular client. The time women most often came up in conversation was in reference to the women these men were divorcing or divorced from. And if you were lucky, you might hear about pick-up joints with...
