221. Don't Marry a Guy Who Reads Forbes


"Gals: A word of advice. Marry one guy or twelve, any shape or size or all of them. Just, whatever you do, don't marry a guy with any copies of Forbes in his possession.

Why? Because if social scientists are to be believed, you run a higher risk of having to disentangle yourelf from a self-absorbed creep. While everyone knows that marriage can be stressful, recent studies have found that men who read Forbes are twice as likely to pick their noses (too much cocaine), drive Hummers, need Viagra, and if they do live long enough to ever take out the trash without being asked, they'll develop a bad back and be useless for sex or gardening. A recent study in Socially Clueless, a group of lonely geeks, found that men - even those who are well-read and can put more than one sentence together - are happiest when their reading material does not include Forbes.

"To be clear, we're not talking about a guy who merely touches Forbes as he's fondling the contents of the magazine rack. We're talking about a guy with a two-year subscription, who reads the damn thing cover-to-cover."



Discussed

and too bored by that same old, same old to be disgusted.
