A quotation from Bierce, Ambrose

LAP, n. One of the most important organs of the female system — an admirable provision of nature for the repose of infancy, but chiefly useful in rural festivities to support plates of cold chicken and heads of adult males. The male of our species has a rudimentary lap, imperfectly developed and in no way contributing to the animal’s substantial welfare.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) American writer and journalist
“Lap,” The Cynic’s Word Book (1906)
