People like lists. My theory as to why is simple: lists are easy to read, requiring very little brain work; they are easy to focus on especially during those private moments when they’d like a little company. And lists give you something to think about: they inform, amuse, outrage, comfort and even confuse and are also out of your control: perfect entertainment.

  • At 40+ there are a lot of people divorcing.
  • It takes a man until 40 to learn it's not all about looks, unless he has $$$$ then he still wants a younger, good-looking chick.
  • Old guys w/ $$$$ like to drive little red sports cars. LOL
