      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Hahaha.

          As if you had the courage to ask girls out in high school.

          It may have been more akin to sociopathy to go around asking everybody out.

          Education is extremely important.

            @Horace No, it was statistical analysis. The larger the sample size the larger number of responses you will find.

                Reminds me of a story I know I’ve told before but I’ll never stop telling it.

                I once worked with and hung out with this guy in São Paulo who would go to crowded bars and maneuver himself such that his back would brush up against a woman’s back. But instead of instantly pulling away like you normally would when that happened, he would keep it there a bit longer than normal or even lean in just a bit.

                He said most girls immediately pulled away but one in ten would stay still, or even lean back into him.

                He said invariably he’d end up taking those girls home.

                So I said to him ‘are you telling me that out of every 10 girls you do that to, 1 comes home with you?’

                And he said ‘No, Jon, out of every thousand girls I do that too, 100 go home with me’.

                "You never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from."
