So now I'm not such a fool after all?

It may not be a full on "pop", but it sounds at least like a little hiss to me.

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

Hmmm. Its too hardwired into me. Seems dangerous and scary.

You have a science background and it worked out

One of my secretaries went to Georgetown and studied psychology.

Add room and board and expenses and you are at almost $60,000/year

I think she makes about $28,000/year

You do the math

PS- she is VERY bright though the only conversational topics that really excite her are Bon Jovi and American Idol.

Of course, if you are looking for the investment as payment of access to "the right" sperm during a key moment in fertility, or perhaps access to a "sugar daddy", then $60,000/year might be worth it.

And this is as true for men as it is for women.

... As I think on it, I'll hook my boys up with a pad in Aspen when they are 22 for a few years and see if this works out well in a kind of "grandfather breeding experiment".

Should be some nice sugar mommas in Aspen (I've never been there). Or do you have any better suggestions as to where I should strategically position my boys during their peak fertility years? ;-)

But in my secretary's case, if this was her parents strategy, it failed big time.

She did marry an absolutely wonderful man whom she hooked up with over the internet. They were married in The Chapel of Love in Las Vegas by an Elvis impersonator.

No joke

Of course he is 13 years her junior, they do couple like rabbits multiple times daily AND he may rule the world one day for all I know.

... And she would KILL me if she knew I was writing this so this post will not last more than a few days. ;-)

How do you have access to information surrounding your secretary's sexual activity? Maybe I don't want to know.

60k a year?!?!? HOLY CRAP!

"Or do you have any better suggestions as to where I should strategically position my boys during their peak fertility years? ;-)"

Are you pimping them out for maximum number of grand-offspring, maximum number of grand-offspring raised to certain quality specifications, or simply so they can enjoy some free jet-set living with the aforementioned sugar mommas? You desired outcome could change the location greatly. For option #3 there are likely some cougars on Mercer Island who might need the services of a young "personal trainer".

"She did marry an absolutely wonderful man whom she hooked up with over the internet. They were married in The Chapel of Love in Las Vegas by an Elvis impersonator."

Awesome! I like happy stories like this. Her literary opposite could be Milo Minderbinder from Catch-22 who was all about money. Paraphrasing:

"Milo didn't understand why the other men spend so much time chasing women. Milo wasn't going to waste his time making love to beautiful women if there was no benefit to him".

For the record I should qualify this is story. I am referring to one of the secretaries in one of the EDs I work at. And the reason I know this is because she openly talks about it with everyone.

My own personal secretary in my own office is a devote Muslim that I think fair to say all Muslims worldwide would be quite proud of.
