    Yes, I'm familiar with the strategy. Fishing with a net.

    Education is extremely important.

      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’.

      Only non-witches get due process.

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

                                      Ha.

                                      I was curious what happened to him. He was killed in a car accident in 92, 6 days after marrying his third wife.

                                      The killer was a 17 year old drunk driver. He got probation and community service and lost his license for 2 years.

                                          I guess it has been 28 years so I can make the joke of... he probably went out the same way he lived his life. Screaming.
