A Man Meets a Woman in a Car

Tweet

Picture it: A man walks down the street, whistling a tune by Mariah Carey. He's chewing on a stick of gum, and holding a book about the native plant population of Iraq. Suddenly, a woman in a Ford Taurus drives up. She's wearing Versace clothing, and her hair is a lovely shade of dark brown, made possible by Clairol hair dye. She is a pharmaceutical representative, but she really dreams of becoming a real estate agent. She lowers the passenger window, and asks the man if he can direct her to the local mall, where she intends to buy lots of expensive jewelry. The man finds her attractive, but in an hour he has a class on child development. What should he do? More importantly, do you think this sort of discussion will make more money than one asking what's your favorite color?
