how to only select links that have text and no picture links

Question

I'm new to jQuery. This would be no problem for me using xpath expressions, but how can i do this the 'jQuery' way?

Given following example:

<stuff>
<a href="target.html">ASDF</a>
<a href="target.html"><img src="asdf.png"/></a>
</stuff>

How can i select with jQuery only the text links and leave the links with the img tags untouched?

Help me j Query kenobi, you are my only hope ;)
