An excuse is just a rationalization. We was gonna anyway, but

By that time, all the pretty girls are gone.

But NOT the one he was hitting on. For that ploy to work, he has to
have met her before and decided that using the raunchy line was
worthwhile.

Besides, who wants the airheaded, siliconed, arrogant "pretty" ones?
(Exceedingly few are humble and intelligent as well as being pretty.)

I prefer 'em earthy and sexy, without too many warts, y'know? Plain
Janes show more appreciation to us Plain Johns. Another plus is that
you don't have to fight off the herds of horny men trying to steal her
from you all night when you're in public.

The man with a pretty wife, or a castle on the border, must be
prepared to do battle at any time.

A few women, and even fewer castles are worth doing battle over.

In that case, better not get a pretty woman, or a castle on the
border.

The ones so pretty you'd bounce a basketball through a mine field
just to talk to her, generally knows it. When I was younger, it might
have been worth it. But ... "aim for the wing man".


Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.


Did you misspell "beerholder" there, Mikey?



I haven't held a beer in 40 years. I can't stand the crap.


28 for me, and I still can't believe I could ever stand the stuff.
That crap REEKS! but Coors (and Bacardi and Coke) nearly went tits up
after losing all that revenue when I quit drinking.


I don't want an inflated,
empty headed bimbo with an Earl Scribe


Scheib. Any car, any color, for only $29.95!

Damn spell checker changed it. I had the e&i reversed, and hit send
instead of spellcheck. What kind of software is it that doesn't
recognize a legend? Anyway, it was $49.95 when I heard of him.


I was just out of high school and in LoCal, his home, when he became
famous. Riiiiiiiiiiiiight. (weirdo)


paint job but there seems to be an endless supply.


All expensive, all high-maintenance, and none worth ANY of the hassle.
Agreed.



Too expensive, no warranty offered, and only low quality replacement
parts. Maintaince costs can continue for decades, even after you've
traded it in for another model. China turns out better junk.


Yep. I prefer the petites, too.
