Some women cannot relate jaw pain to a heart attack.
So while it is good to make fun of some things, I don't really think this one of them.
I think that there should be a concentrated campaign to educate women on what symptoms they might experience when suffering a heart attack, and that these symptoms are different for women, and should not be ignored.
