The guy who comes over to your table at Starbucks...wants to borrow your chair.

The guy hovering around your cube at work ...wants to sell you kitchen remodeling.

The guy at the gym who says, "Would you like to go out sometime?" is talking into his cell.

Will life end up cats and quilted bathrobes? An alphabetized spice rack and vacations with girl friends?

Will life be like the fortune teller who tells her customer, "You will be unknown and penniless until you are 40."

"And then?" asks the customer.

"And then you'll be used to it."
