This has the air of something you realized three hours later.

You just skipped ahead to the "remove speedos" step, didn't you?

Also, the reply "My breaststroke is even better on land, baby" is contraindicated.

"Just" is used in many sense, SB.

Adam, I take your point, but my uncorrected pool vision pegs her as a good 15 years my senior. I think that's outide my range. (Plus, given that my vision is uncorrected, I don't know if she's hot.)

Plus you'd need to wait for the background check, to determine if she has a heritable disposition to irremediable sadness and squeaking.

You can tell a Russian squeaker just by, what, sniffing?

Generally, the Russians and the squeakers are separate. Russians you can tell just by looking (if in doubt, she's Russian), and the squeakers squeak. Why you wanna do my like this, SB?

Ogged, both times I've dallied with women that much older than myself, it was memorable. In the good way.

Hm... Originally, I was going to say that it didn't matter if it was a pickup line, because she wouldn't be in the .0000000000001% of the human population that Ogged would date. Now, it appears, I'm right.

Well apostropher, you raise a good point, and it's not as I have other plans.

No. There are probably many more than that.

If I'm doing the math right, by Tweedle's original figure, Ogged will find one 20,000th of one person someplace on Earth acceptable. If we accept ogged's claims of heterosexuality, that figure drops to about one 40,000th.

Sounds about right.

But a breast stroke requires a gentle hand. No impromptu mammograms, thanks.

Did she have a nice voice?

If her voice was nice, you could just close your eyes.

No, she wasn't trying to pick you up. She just felt like being nice when she saw you and it was the only compliment she could muster.

Seriously, ogged, at this stage in your life, I think you should try to hook up with any woman who says anything even remotely nice to you, as in:

Woman of indeterminate (but irrelevant) hotness: "Excuse me, would you mind getting out of the way so I can save that group of small children who are in danger of burning to death?"

ogged: "But of couse, will you marry me?"

Keep trying that and you're bound to find a woman. Either that or get yourself sent to Death Row. Something on TV here tonight makes it seems like Old Sparky's future friends are just awash in hotties.

If it's not about work and I don't have $20 clasped loosely betwixt my fingers, I assume that any time a woman speaks to me, she's trying to pick me up. And to be fair, I'm pretty sure I've argued to friends that a woman was in to me under either (a) or (b).

I think he means that even when it was for work, or he was offering $20, he still argued that the woman was into him.

Ogged will find one 20,000th of one person someplace on Earth acceptable.

Does this mean ogged has a 1/20,000 chance of dating a member of the species homo sapiens or that he will with certainty 1 date someone who is 1/20,000th homo sapiens?

Take your pick. I was thinking, however, that he would fall in love and marry someone's left small toenail, or their accumulated collection of gut flora.
