A man of taste and discernment, I see… how good are you at stone-lifting, tree-chopping and hoe-throwing?\*

Eno Phillips (paraphrasing; can’t find a transcript of the bit): I was at the bar last night and I asked a lady if she’d like to go out sometime and she said \<snooty voice\> “I wouldn’t go out with you if you were the last man on Earth!” I said “lady, if I was the last man on Earth, _you_ wouldn’t even be allowed in line.”

I’m a teacher. If I were the last one alive, I anticipate a hit to the pocketbook.

Hell, if you (and I) were the last people on Earth, I don’t think sexual preferences come into it. Of course I’d want someone to talk to. After that, who knows? We’d have plenty of time on our hands for experimentation (well, at least until all the tinned food runs out).
