Hey Dave: Believe me ... in my 70 years here on earth, I've generally found
the the high maintenance, slightly wacky women are the most challenging and
fun. I would never marry one, but they usually could perform more tricks on
a king size bed than a tribe of 20 monkeys could do on a 30 foot clothes
line! And I've got the scars to prove it.

 

Yer (older but wiser) pal, Ferrari Bubba

This list is a wealth of knowledge.  It had never crossed my mind that high

maintenance women are more fun than low maintenance women.  I will have to

ponder this analogy some more.

High maintenance cars = fun

Low maintenance cars = boring

High maintenance women.....

 

It's just life.  :)
