        I bet you have heard that old line 'physical beauty is only skin
deep' a thousand times.  Well, consider this.....

        I'm confined to a wheelchair.  Have muscle spasms which
are a turn off.  Have a nose which can be used for the ski
jumping trials.  And depending on the weather, the time of day,
and how much I've been sweating I could have B.O. bad enough to
make the stables smell pleasant.

        With all those demerits I have still managed to find to
women who married me.  One for six years, and one for 10 years.
On top of that I still found others I could cheat with and date
before, between, and after divorces.

        Keep trying.
