The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

9 February 2006

Quote of the week

From James Joyner, on a theme I've surely mentioned before:

Not only has it never occured to me that beauty and brains are mutually exclusive — indeed, my experience has almost always been that when it rains, it pours — but I can't even imagine what one might do with a stupid woman on the second night. Well, certainly, the second week.

Suggestions, within reasonable bounds of decorum, are welcomed. (By me, not by James, who is happily spoken for.)

The second week, you take her to a roundhouse and tell her there's a diamond engagement ring in the corner.

There's an overlooked factor here: Kindness and affection could compensate for a deficit in either the brains or the beauty department. If you had sweet and cute, smart wouldn't seem so important.

On the other hand, it takes an awful lot of "sweet and cute" to mask "dumb as a post."
