"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
29 September 2006Time to stop lookingI think I've made something like this argument once or twice:
[L]et's be clear here. You are not going to marry a guy who looks like Colin Farrell, is tough but sensitive, smart, funny, charms every room he's in, and pulls in the big bucks. I know you really want to meet that guy. I wish you could find him. I really do. But there's only like 4 of those guys in the world, and they're already taken. I'm sorry to tell you this, but it's time to think about settling.
I hope he's more successful with it than I. (WSJ via Pratie Place.) Posted at 8:17 PM to Table for OneI've got my wife hoodwinked on all of those* except the big bucks -- though if I knew how to rob banks I might manage that one too. *she obviously has no idea what Colin Farrell looks like.

Posted by: Mister Snitch! at 11:50 PM on 29 September 2006You know Brian has a point. I have a dear friend, who's beautiful, talented and lonely. She's now approaching 40 and realizes that Mr. Perfect is just not out there for her.
