True story time...

I once worked alongside this loathsome right wing asshole that was married to a very nice lady from the Philippines. We were talking about this very thing and I had in my mind an image of a lonely serviceman, far from home and a smart, ambitious young woman...eyes across a crowded room blah blah blah.

(First a little bit about me...I used to have this really bad habit of blurting out the first thing that came to mind. It was all brain to mouth with no filter of any kind.)

Before hearing the rest of the story (and thus getting critical information), I said, "That's cool...I'm glad it wasn't one of those creepy mail-order bride thingies."

Ooops.
