Wedding Anniversary Patty

We began this lifetime together on July 12, 1955. Patty was young and I was too. She was the model for my photography back then and while most of it was done in black and white, some was in color. This is my favorite photo of Patty from those early days. She has my Army cap in her hands and had just jumped up on the hood of the car and smiled like she was a star in the movies.

Finding a Woman

Look for a captivating smile and clean fingernails. My wife's mother told my wife after she met me the first time that I had clean fingernails. That is like learning how to win the lottery. It important to know and valuable to pass on. You have heard of food poisoning, stomach flue and crabs — all because of dirty fingernails. Look for one eye opposite the other — two ears — one on each side. The nose and eye brows are pretty much never messed with so you can take whatever you get there.

And it is a known fact that crazy people don't age much. They always look about the same. So if she is good in all departments but her mind, it don't matter much. There are some benefits to finding a woman a little "touched in the head." For example: A crazy woman stays younger looking longer and if she is on the fat side she won't wrinkly up so fast. If she can take her teeth out then you have missed paying dental bills for life. Generally a woman becomes what her man is. So if she was married before, say to a Holy Roller, she is likely to become a Holy Roller. My mother told me to pick a woman who could nurse babies. I did but she couldn't.

Finding a Man

If I was a woman looking for a man, to marry, I would be careful and choose one who served in the Army or the Navy or the Air Force or the Marines — they all know that clap doesn't have anything to do with hands and they all know how to fold sheets. And they know how to make a bed. Some made beds with a blanket stretched so tight a quarter would bounce high enough to catch. They wore metal pots on their heads called a “helmet.” Helmets hold more than enough water to shave with and to take a bath with and to wash your hair with. If you choose a man who wears a pot on his head he will be a conservative; Republican, and opinionated. They are savers; and plant only native plants that require little or no water. They are good in bed, but not that good — that's why Liberals outnumber Conservatives about 10 to 2.

Don't choose a person who thinks it's cool to wear hats backwards (Remember: hats match brains - they do things you will never understand) Beware, ladies, of gentlemen who want to wear their shorts backwards in bed.
