Yeah, well, what if you’re looking for someone who _likes_ getting stabbed with a spork? That’s some tough criteria, I tell you whut.

> How old are you **Stranger**? My friends are mostly in their late 20s and I do know a lot of doctors and scientists I could hook you up with. Sadly, they are all Indian and tiny with black hair. Also, there’s that whole husband-hunting thing…oh well, I’ll keep my eyes open for you.

Hang on… you know a lot of female doctors and scientists who live in California, are single, in their late 20’s, and are tiny with black hair?  
So… do you take credit cards?

Hey! Dibs! I was here first! I tell ya’, some people. The nerve. _The nerve!_.

Heck, at least I might get to meet this **anu-la1979** that all the cool kids keep going on about.

Ohh, can I have him? I’d like that he was gone a lot and I am not unduly curious about his job. He’s a few years younger than I’d prefer, but what the hell, I am more Buckaroo Bonzai than Blazing Saddles so it’s all about the give and take.
