Beyond the Black Hole

I guess only parrots can see the finer points

A young man called his mother and announced excitedly that he had just met the woman of his dreams. Now what should he do?

His mother had an idea: "Why don't you send her flowers, and on the card invite her to your place for a home-cooked meal?"

He thought this was a great strategy and arranged a date for a week later. His mother called the day after the big date to see how things had gone.

"The evening was a disaster," he moaned.

"Why, didn't she come over?" asked his mother.

"Oh, she came over, but she refused to cook..."

It is obvious that she was not "the woman of his dreams," so the date was successful in that the young man was able to discover that she was not what he dreamed she was on the first date. People are so ignorant. They often cannot see that which is placed right before their eyes. They appear to be so sex crazed that they likely just refuse to see the truth. Was she the woman of his dreams because he found her to be physically attractive? Thankfully, this was but a joke, but the jokester missed the point of the situation. I did not do so.
