Thread Name: BS: I'm not asking for much
Subject: BS: I'm not asking for much
-- am I?

A coworker went home to England for a vacation/family visit. She asked if I had any requests from across the pond. I said I'd like a good-looking, wealthy, folk musician.

She brought me fudge from Cornwall, instead.

P'raps this is one of those "choose two" things, you know, like "fast, cheap, or good" -- you can't get all three at once.

And of course, complicating it even further, there's the assumed 4th characteristic, too, "single."

There are probably laws restricting the export of any qualifying goods.

I could drop "wealthy"... as long as I could get one that was reasonably self-supporting...

Is it really too much to ask?
