    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’.

                                        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.
