Probably Kip Addotta. He’s a natural comic genius!
Need a woman with a bass boat - please send pic of boat ...
Women=Money*Time; but, since time IS Money
Women=Money2
As we all know, money is the root of all evil, therefore
Money=√Evil and so,
Money2 =(√Evil)2 or,
Money2=Evil and, as we have seen,
Women=Money2 Therefore,
Women=Evil
So, it's proof positive that Women ARE Evil! QED
Makes no sense! If you're holding out for one that's better than any in the first group, and there is none, you are stuck with the last one you interview, with expected rank of (N-1)/2, but which could be the worst one.
I suppose this 1/e stratagem maximizes the expected rank of your choice. But after all, you're only going to do it once!
The truth is, psychologically, men make money to get a woman. The man with the most money gets the pick of more women. It is true sex makes the world go round. If there were no women, men wouldn’t have the incentive to make money as there would be no pay off that important to them.
Tell us how you really feel Johnny heh.
You must have some war stories from hell.
put out frequently after marriage?
You described my wife, but her love for video games has waned, so of course mine has to too, but now she’s angry that I shoot my guns so much because I spend lots on ammo lol.
Haha, very good strategy, glad it’s working.
Actually, m’Lady, it depends on the age bracket under study. ... And in my case, how long since the last divorce.
How's that working out for you?
This made me think of those times in a parking lot, driving down a long corridor of cars toward the mall entrance, wondering about the optimal time to just grab an available space (do I take this one, or drive just a LITTLE farther hoping for better one).
Not equating women with parking spaces, mind you.... :-)

Well, I quickly ( cough, cough ) wrote up a simulation for the suggested stratagem assuming 100 candidate interviews, ranked 1 through 100, and taken in random order. I used 36 for the cutoff of the “automatic refuse” sample, and then followed the strategy of taking the first one better than any of the sample of 36, or settling for the last interviewee.
1000 trials are well within trivial response time, and here are the results for several runs of 1000 trials:
358 142 81 28 21 12 7 7 6 11 7 7 4 3 4 2 4 3 2 5 3 3 3 6 5 2 3 3 4 5 6 4 4 2 2 1 4 6 3 6 4 1 6 0 4 3 4 3 5 4 2 5 4 1 6 7 3 3 2 2 2 5 4 3 7 1 5 5 4 2 4 0 2 4 3 5 3 1 1 3 4 5 5 5 4 4 4 3 2 4 2 7 1 7 8 4 0 4 4 1
405 153 62 30 28 15 10 3 7 4 5 1 6 2 0 5 3 4 5 5 1 4 2 5 4 4 4 6 5 2 4 8 8 4 2 2 4 3 5 2 3 0 2 0 5 4 1 3 4 4 3 2 0 3 3 0 3 1 5 3 2 6 3 1 3 3 0 2 0 2 7 4 2 5 5 2 6 3 4 1 4 2 4 2 2 1 1 0 2 4 5 8 4 6 4 1 0 2 3 3
371 157 67 23 16 12 5 5 8 6 2 3 3 1 5 2 2 4 3 2 1 1 5 9 6 2 6 4 2 6 2 4 5 5 5 6 2 4 0 2 3 4 3 1 1 4 3 3 3 4 0 1 1 3 6 5 4 8 6 1 2 7 1 3 4 1 4 3 2 5 3 4 6 6 3 6 3 2 4 1 1 6 6 4 4 4 4 7 4 1 6 5 2 4 3 5 4 6 10 6
... so it looks like a good strategy, in that it seems to optimize my chance of selecting a high ranking candidate. It gave me a top 10 candidate in 673, 717, and 670 out of 1000 trials in the three runs shown.
A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs.
She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.'
So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.
'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.
'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!'
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store .
PLEASE NOTE:
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer.
The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.
Beer... and power tools. Those are incentives.

See, I started off by making sure she liked to shoot. Then I checked for video games and the like. Now she just complains we live too far from a decent range.
I’m still ok, she likes to shoot, she just doesn’t realize how much .308 ammo can go through a semi automatic heh.
