(I used to give that same pat answer of "take a class" to my friends looking for a significant other until they reported back how dismal these courses were numbers-wise. For example, a pottery class may contain 12 people of which: 2 are guys, 3 are children, 4 are senior citizens, 2 are married women -- leaving one possible "elligible" female.) My angry buddy told me: "I would have met more women watching female mud wrestling in a seedy bar in Las Vegas before I found a good one in that damn pottery class you told me to take!" - John ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- __)) "Glass ceilings?
