So this system is pretty creepy. Each bead=sex. The husband is allowed to drop a bead in a bowl by the bed…if the woman sees the bead, she has to be ready to have sex within 24 hours.

They are not always paying attention… If you ask them what the makeup of the budget is, they’ll say 25 percent of it goes to foreign aid. If you ask them about Medicare, they’ll say, ‘I love that program, but I wish government wouldn’t get involved in it.’

Winklevoss (v), (adj)

1. To continue fighting something even after an undeserved victory for irrational or emotional reasons. “You got more than half of his money AND the apartment. Don’t Vinklevoss this.”

2. To expect credit for trivial contributions, usually stemming from inflated sense of self-importance. “Your boss took credit for the idea based on your Grandmother? Ugh.  Winklevossy.”

Unlucky people miss chance opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They go to parties intent on finding their perfect partner, and so miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through the newspaper determined to find certain job advertisements and, as a result, miss other types of jobs. Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there, rather than just what they are looking for.” (Via Mark Gantt)
