“You get this sort of human profit-and-loss exam from women before you marry them. They’re making a bet on you and they want to know the odds, but after the wedding they don’t care that much anymore, at least for a while. All the accounts are temporarily settled.” Page 48.
Comic diversions and witticisms about life.

It’s the modern world, a little dark, but lightly funny.
