My cousin used to boast about her and her mates ability to go out every weekend with an empty purse and spend the whole night on the town getting wrecked and even get some poor muggins to pay for the taxi home. All for free. Little bugga!

Er, Aristotle was a bloke. A shipping magnate. I think you may have been thinking of Jackie, who was his wife.

Ain't no romance without finance. Simple as that.

When one finds the lass with whom you wish to spend all your time...at home...you marry her a.s.a.p.

And that's when the *real* costs start!

Love her dearly...
