Statistics!

(me last Saturday)I took a survey, together with some 150 members of my college class and discovered some dandy facts:ONE, 10% of the class recently stopped having sex and 4% resumed having it.TWO, 5.4% of us never married, 18.1% are divorced and 72% have a spouse, partner (or taxidermied surrogate to prop up at the breakfast table.)THREE, 92% of us have children but most report that they're more likely to have pets in the home than kids. (No laundry is why. Next to kids pets are a breeze, especially if you teach 'em to flush.)FOUR, more of us exercise at health clubs AND more of us take antidepressant medicine than did then. (It’s those darn Step Classes; they'll  bring anybody down.)FIVE, There's been a big increase in ballroom dance lessons and a big dip in travel. (Why travel the world if you could just cross the dance floor?)SIX, 11% of us wish to work indefinitely.Well I know  I certainly wish to work indefinitely, if you can call this work. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go find my long black wig and my dancing partners the cats.
