Hi Mike, SI politically incorrect, and female MBA politically horrible, but, you are right. I have always had a mental image of gently slapping my partner on the backside with a checkbook whilst doing the deed to the tune of "Physical" by Olivia Newton John:0) Common language at last! Chugs, Jay

<Doubt this? Dangle a big shiny gold rock in front of a (preferably human) female organism and see what happens. The connection you make between gold and sex is no accident.> ACF, Discordant! Jangling! I think things are not so simple. The vast human genome isn't so simply driven. I suppose the belief in that theory is why a lot of single middle-aged men wear gold chains around their necks. Actually, a lot of women wear gold chains too, so maybe it works both ways. But somehow, men wearing gold chains look a bit pathetic. It's as though they so little understand what is going on that they think a bauble or two will lead to reproductive nirvana. I think a lot of women would be warned off by the gold-chain wearing or shiny-gold-rock-dangling guy who obviously lacks a broad view of life and what a relationship with a woman might be. More in love with money, gold and himself. I suppose there is a niche market for guys like that. The gold necklace, the dangling gold rock, the gold-plated cellphone, the red Ferrari, the gold card, the leather jacket, the hair-dye, toupee and Viagra. A lot of girls would love to have their children ... [but I think more would prefer just to get the money]. I think keep the gold bars safely out of sight in the basement, quick-setting concrete or bank vault, and buy the lady some flowers instead of flaunting a gold chain and invite her on a trip to Paris.
