So... what made you fall for her then?!

Doesn't have to be a past life.
The really really bad thing you did could easily have been a simple
thing like choosing the wrong woman.

Boils down to the same thing imo.

You might have a point there.

Knew that.

Glad I'm not a man having to put up with that :-)

Steadfastness can be used as a powerful force.
They say that you can even use it to raise little rascals to be
responsible adults! Ask me in about 15 years if it really works.

I guess no man has been inspired enough by that to invent such a
simple thing as a jock-strap then.

Blame it on the inventors. (not the one that finally did invent the
thing - all the other ones from way back)

You reckon that's what made me decide to stop at age one?

If she falls for that, she's not that smart.
Or maybe she is. Depends on what she's after, I guess.

Btw, how do you detect which category the girl is in before you start
talking?

I figured you'd say something to that extent. <g>

Yes. Remember Mark Parnell, rf, brucie and Disco Octopus? (probably
forgot a few)

I do know a few in real life too though, but haven't spoken to them
for about 10 years now. They all have this weird habit of living in a
far away country.

I guess that's a Good Thing.

Sure, why not :-)

Is that how long you haven't had contact with a female?

None, but I was talking of a combination of 'da' with repeated 'do's
;-)

Don't think me unkind
Words are hard to find
They're only cheques I've left unsigned
From the banks of chaos in my mind
And when their eloquence escapes me
Their logic ties me up and rapes me

Poets priests and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no-one's jamming their transmission
'Cos when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you
</quote>

The 'do' and the 'da' are in the chorus:

<quote>
De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true
</quote>

Just in case it doesn't ring a bell, it's 'De Do Do Do' by The Police
(1980).
