The possession of whom...

Them were the days, eh?

Remember, it was a different time and a different world when the quote came into existence. Even then, I believe it was meant figuratively rather than literally. It can easily be interpreted as referring to the possession of her love, which can only be possessed if she freely gives it. That's how I choose to look at it. YMMV.

I like the idea of owning women.

All the women I ever owned, always got mad and ran away.

Owning them can sometimes get rather expensive. That's why some, would rather rent them instead.

Nice one, JP.

A recent Conan O'Brien tweet I found amusing.

"The emoticon just turned 30. I wish there were some way to express how little I care about this news."
