It just brought to mind (or in your probable opinion mindless) old joke that a divorced 8 times freind of mine told me.
Get this.....He married one of the women 3 different times.
He married one other woman twice.
I asked him why he did that and said that he did not like being alone.
He always married women older than himself because he felt that they were easier to get .
He went on to say that he also hoped that he would outlive them because they were his retirement fund.
All of his ex wives are still alive...he died two years ago of a heart attack.
