Years ago on FreeRepublic, after (I believe) a flood, somebody posted the following:
You think you want this:
[insert picture of pajama boy]
But you actually want this:
[insert a picture of a fireman carrying a woman through two and a half feet of flood water]
I searched for it, but I’m old so I probably didn’t do that good a job and couldn’t find it. But I do remember it.
As long as they wake up before it’s too late, it’s ok.
As my circle of friends used to say of nice, pretty boy types with no spine, they were first husband material.
