A very much older man meets a beautiful young woman who would be out of his league even if he weren't old enough to be her grandfather. Grossness ensues because the story is written from the perspective of the very much older man.

Accused? Or convicted? Because those are two completely different stats.

When I was a kid, the only way a non-related adult's first name was allowed to come out of my mouth was if it was preceded by "Aunt" or "Uncle."

When I called Ron Johnson to tell him to do his job, I said that 700k people in WI get SNAP and WI has fewer than 400k Black people, so most SNAP recipients are white and some of them might even have voted for him although I don't know why anyone would ever be stupid enough to do so.

When I am at a concert, I calculate revenue based on attendance and posted ticket prices, then divide by the number of people in the band and it's never that much. And of course my numbers don't even include the roadies and the facility fees and the other expenses. Hard way to make a living.
