Hey, Os, you reminded me of a nail polish story I thought I should bring up.

I had just turned 21 and met a super-fine honey from the newly opened Lynnwood Hooters. She agreed to go out with me (amazing, huh) and we soon hit it off. I was living alone in a one-bedroom apartment at the time and it wasn't long at all before she was coming over to "keep me company". Well, she ended up being the nosy type and found my stash of hot pink and purple fingernal polish which consisted of close to a dozen or so bottles of various shades.

"Who does this belong to?" she asked as she held up the bottle of Revlon Raspberry Rush pink.

"Oh," laughing, "I use that stuff to paint my fishing lures" I stated.

"Yeah, right!" She barked back. "You're either some kinda freak or you have some chickie on the side that your not telling me about!"

"No, really" I exclaimed. "I use it to paint my Lil Corkies...."

"What the hell are little Corkies?" she inquired.

"They're little balls, uh, for fishing and I also paint my Tadpollys" I answered.

"You can paint your little balls pink all you want, you #$&*@!% freak! I'm leaving!!" was her paranoid response.

Never did hear from her again. Oh, well. You win some and you lose some.

Most women I've met are from the other extreme, however. My present girlfriend of almost five years gets into my Dip 'n' Glo and Fishermun's Lure Coat and swears that it's the best looking and longest lasting nail polish she's ever used. At least she doesn't use the blue and green.
