How to Pick Your Future Mate

I have recently been educated in the best way to find your future mate.

Some may think that you should go for someone based on your compatibility. Others will take the advice of those closest to them. One of our priests says that you need to choose someone who will help you get to Heaven.

While eating lunch at a busy restaurant this past week, I found out that all of these theories were wrong.

There, a young man was with a couple of friends, and was worried about trying to ask a girl out. I know this because they were sitting close to us and talking loudly. So, as much as I would have liked to have not paid attention to what they had to say, I couldn't help it. It was pretty much all I heard.

Now, don't get ahead of me here. I'm sure you're thinking you know where this is going. You think maybe they were talking about physical attributes of the girl or some other such thing as that. Nope...still not.

This is what one of the young men declared:

His friend (the interested party) needed to just ask the girl who she thought the best James Bond was. He didn't appear to be making a joke. In fact, he had a long discussion on this topic. He declared that if this intended girl did not answer with Sean Connery, then his friend needed to just turn around and leave.

As a matter-of-fact, he went on, this girl should just be sterilized, as to save her raising children to whom she would teach that Timothy Dalton was the best James Bond. At least after this part, he did laugh.

But, he did continue to tout the merits of this James Bond question for mating purposes for quite some time.

On the up side, I did get to giggle quite a bit about it all. It was like lunch and entertainment all wrapped up in one.
