Today I heard two women deriding some poor guy for going through a “mid-life crisis”. I took the opportunity to offer them both some (unsolicited) insight into this phenomenon. Let’s be absolutely clear about this, it has nothing to do with being middle aged. Men always want a hot little red sports car. They wanted it as a young lad, they wanted in as a young man, and they want it in middle age. That just happens to be when they can actually afford it! It should be called a “positive cash flow crisis”. If we could have gotten the cute little blond trophy wife at age 20, we would have, honest.
Hmm, “hot little red sports car”. “cute little blond trophy wife”. I suppose the ideal would be a hot little sports car with breasts. On the other hand, I’ve tried a cute little girlfriend who had twin exhausts, and that didn’t work out at all. *cough*
