I now share a house with my roommate, a cat and three dogs. This is not about the animals.
My roomie and I were watching ‘The Americans’ (an excellent show about the KGB in Reagan’s USA), and she was remarking about Keri Russell, who plays the female lead. (Quite a stretch from Felicity, huh?)
And she took note of a small imperfection on Ms. Russell’s upper lip. Not surprising, as Ms. Russell is quite beautiful. And inquired, “What’s THAT about?”
Being the know-it-all I sometimes pretend to be, I suggested it was an intentional flaw – as one may not notice beauty without a minor flaw with which to compare it. (I don’t remember, some philosopher…anyone? Bueller, Bueller?)
And my roommate, who is quite fetching herself asks me, “So, what’s MY flaw?” - with a big smile.
OOPS. Danger, Danger, Warning, Will Robinson!
Of course, she does have them one, but I’m not about to tell her! Perhaps it’s constantly denying her beauty. A real modesty and self-deprecation that makes her even more attractive. After all, if she thought she was all that, she’s be insufferable.
But, please don’t tell her…








Response…. ” for you to put up with me as you do…… you have to be perfect” then excuse yourself for a couple of minutes….

Posted by guffaw1952 | February 19, 2013, 8:16 amSlight imperfection? I’m just not seeing it.
Matt pretty much nailed the proper response to most female questions.

I’ve only seen in in close-up on HD TV.
For some reason, I like looking…
Posted by guffaw1952 | February 19, 2013, 10:02 amYeah. Matt got it.
Posted by guffaw1952 | February 19, 2013, 10:03 amIt’s good that you stopped yourself from blurting out a random male response. That NEVER turns out well.
Matt’s right, of course.
Posted by Rev. Paul | February 19, 2013, 11:09 amAgreed on both counts!
