On the other hand, this queer mixture of Irish flake and sweet ribbon Virginia is also "smoking". And though I may be rancid, I am also a realist. My pipe will keep me happy, whereas the talented trilingualist will likely fall for a hairy savage half my age.
As indeed they always do.
I remember the young ladies at the noodle restaurant.
And acknowledge that I am not their type.
Original troglodyte.
