    There not all bad.

    I'm in my twenties, living in NYC. One night, my buddy lectures me. Tells me I can't talk politics with girls I'm talking up in bars, if I want to ever get laid.

    Shortly thereafter, I meet a cute girl. Things are going well. I'm being charming, and not bringing up politics at all.

    Out of nowhere, she asks me if I'm a Republican or Democrat. I see my chances of getting laid slip away as I answer Republican.

    But, that was the right answer! We were together for seven years.

    At least she was cute and not a 53-year-old albino hypnotherapist ...

    I bet she wanted to respond, but she was stumped.

    My brother is a Rush-listening, Trump-voting, meat-eating Republican. His wife is a Women's-marching, Hillary-loving, vegetarian Democrat.

    Guess who likes to bring up politics when the family gets together for dinner?

    Me.

    Along the lines of @doctorquant story...

    I meet a cute girl while out at the Notre Dame/B.C. game, in South Bend. She's still at B.C., I'm a little older than college age.

    We hit it off. Talk on the phone a few times. She says I should come up to B.C. the next weekend.

    I'm not sure I'm going to go, and mention I'm looking to find a ride. She says I should call Todd, a guy I know who lives near me.

    I ask how she knows Todd. They're dating.

    WTF? Thank God I asked, or else I'd be telling Todd and his friend how excited I was to go see this cute girl I had met. Would have been bounced out of the car somewhere around New Haven.

    Married women? Have lots of those stories.

    I'm working at a big company, and we have a meeting.

    Cute girl I've never met attends. She has an Asian first name, Irish last name, and looks and speaks with a Spanish accent.

    I'm intrigued, and ask her about it.

    She's from Puerto Rico. Her mom just loved the name. And her husband is Irish.

    We dated for about a year.

    But did you save 15% on your car insurance by switching to Geico?

    That is one occasion during which you should be able to say whatever the hell you want. That was my approach when I spoke at my mother's funeral.

    It's getting downright chummy in here. Somebody insult somebody.
