  1. My Dad smoked 3 packs a day. He was pretty typical for the 1950-60s.

  2. Updated version: A fool and his money are fun to marry...and divorce.

  3. Improvise, adapt, overcome. Bear Grylls would be proud of you!

  4. Actually, many thought it was a documentary or a "how-to" guide.

  5. The Honeymooners was at least realistic in their living conditions. Ralph was a city bus driver and they lived in a little dingy apartment. And Alice didn't wear anything designer.

  6. That's how she really made her money.

  7. Women do tend to marry up. What I'm confused about is why that makes them "the prize". I would think the man would be that since he earns more.

  8. I suspect that they'd have OnlyFans accounts.

  9. The Irish? (wink wink)

  10. And average looking women dating millionaires.

  11. Where we end up in life is the sum total of all of our decisions along the way. Poor decisions lead to poor outcomes...unless you can marry a millionaire at the last minute.

  12. Carrie reminds me of the old joke about when a horse went into a bar and the bartender said "why the long face?".

  13. The blame does not lay with the TV show, the blame is on those who followed it in their real lives. Victimhood is a national disease. I grew up watching Superman jumping off tall buildings. If I went up on the roof with a sheet made into a cape and jumped off, who's to blame, me or the TV show?

  14. I thought a woman needed a man like a fish needs a bicycle? Guess some of those fish are tired of walking now.

  15. When a man is broke he says "I've got to get a job". When a woman is broke she says "I've got to get a man".

  16. But that's what they are supposed to do. Why do you think they call it TV "programming"?

  17. Aux États-Unis, cela s'appelle une carte de débit. Il vous permet uniquement de dépenser l’argent que vous avez en banque et pas plus.

  18. But don't worry. They refuse to settle and all will marry a millionaire. I wonder how many single, straight millionaire men there are in the US? Hope there's enough. Otherwise it's wine and cats.

  19. Sprinkle sprinkle.

  20. It also put women to work so that they could pay taxes. Being married with kids = slavery. Working at XYZ, Corp. in Cubicle 34 for 40 years = freedom.

  21. But it sure helps to be a Marxist to produce it.

  22. How about "Me, my cats, and I"?

  23. Well, it did kind of say that rampant promiscuity and reckless spending wasn't a bad thing as long as you could marry a clueless millionaire afterwards.

  24. But cats are doing well. Feline nation.

  25. That varies by state. In some states if the wedding doesn't take place the engagement ring must be given back to who bought it.

  26. Fairy tales for adult women.

  27. I find it odd that a fully-grown woman still needs to be subsidized by her parents. Isn't it ever time to grow up and actually be "strong and independent"?

  28. Delusion is now the national pastime.

  29. Money and alcohol are similar in that they just magnify what you were to begin with.

  30. Before marrying today a man needs to run a credit report on the w0man of his interest. Her bills will become your problem. There are many types of love and perhaps her love of you is of the financial variety.

  31. Strong and independent...until the bill comes.

  32. Careful, you're talking about a large portion of the female population.

  33. It used to be that art imitated life. Now life imitates art. If you want to count trashy TV shows as "art".

  34. Isn't that what marriage has always been: finding a man to pull your wagon so you can ride in comfort?

  35. The quickest way to go broke is to try to appear as if you are rich.

  36. Isn't it great being a second class citizen?

  37. A woman doesn't make her money when she marries, she makes it when she divorces. Men are in love, women are in business.

  38. The same thing is happening now with "social influencers". People see them driving Ferraris and vacationing in Bali and strive to be like that. But the Ferrari was rented for the photo shoot and the people were PhotoShopped into a Bali Tourism Bureau photo. But yet people believe it and are unhappy because they can't live like that but will go broke trying.
