He Said, She Slapped
In response to a post on another weblog, I commented:
Dude, this is true with a lot of girls. As you get older & older, your standards get tougher & tougher until one day you get fed up of not finding anyone. That’s when you get in trouble b/c out of desperation, you’ll probably end up making an irrational decision one day & marry off with the wrong guy. You know what happens after that…a long, hopelessly tragic love life full of sex, scandal, money & god knows what else.
So what’s the moral of the story for all you girls?! Lower your standards a few notches & give me a call! I’m kidding!
In response to my comment, another chick (of course!) slapped back with:
Moe - If you said that to me in person, I’d kick your ass so hard and so fast you wouldn’t know what happened. Heh.
Ok, I admit it, I might have said a little more than necessary, but I thought the point I was trying to make was so obvious.
Irregardless, there’s a second moral to this story & it’s very simple. To keep from getting your ass beaten (possibly in a public place with, God forbid, your friends close by), don’t tell girls their standards are too high.*
