: by the target population of desireable males pulls into the parking lot 
: and pops the hood and yanks a wire. The first guy to correctly guess (and 
: fix) what is wrong gets the date.

	i assumed that was the plan. however, once she gets a guy with
his head under the hood (or, worse, more than one and they're arguing)
it can be pretty hard to stop the ones who guess wrong from "fixing" a
thing or two. once that happens, of course, there are more things wrong
and it becomes even harder to tell whether the next guy is helping or
hindering. by the time she's through, she may have met several desireable
guys but the repair bill will be more than the cost of meeting the same
number of guys through great expectations.

	p.s. i realize that some women do try this trick. they're the
ones i see in parking lots with their hoods up who see me coming, slam
down the hood and drive away.
