 Kissing your Girlfriend
 Didn't you follow my advice about kissing your girlfriend when she least expects it?' asked the older brother.
 'Oh hell!' replied the younger sibling with the swollen eye. I thought you said 'where'.'

 My girlfriend is out in the car
 
 A man had been drinking at the bar for hours when he mentioned something about his girlfriend being out in the car. The bartender, concerned because it was so cold, went to check on her. When he looked inside the car, he saw the man's friend, Dave, and his girlfriend kissing one another. The bartender shook his head and walked back inside.
 
 He told the drunk that he thought it might be a good idea to check on his girlfriend. The fellow staggered outside to the car, saw his buddy and his girlfriend kissing, then walked back into the bar laughing.
 
 "What's so funny?" the bartender asked.
 
 "That stupid Dave!" the fellow chortled, "He's so drunk, he thinks he's me!"

 Girlfriend Report
 
 Well it's been 29 years since Consumer's Reports reviewed girlfriends. Since then, styles have changed, new features have been introduced, and the market for girlfriends has changed substantially. So another report was needed.
 
 As in a car or a computer, you should ask yourself what you need a girlfriend for before obtaining one. This will, in large part, dictate the final product which you should consider. Do you want an intellectual companion? A baby factory? A hiking partner? Or just lots of good, old-fashioned sex? Identifying your needs is the first, and most important, step in selecting a girl- friend.
 
 The second question which needs to be addressed is, of course, how much you are able to spend. This is largely determined by your physical and personal characteristics--if you are good looking, have a commanding personality and a good sense of humor, you will have the resources to obtain a fancy, high-end model. On the other hand, if you are ugly, smell bad, and wear polyester clothes, your choices are more limited. Keep your purchasing power in mind when considering your selection. Although the salesman will tell you that a girlfriend can be financed, we do not recommend this practice; due to inflating expectations, the required monetary outlay will actually *increase* with time.
 
 Used vs. New?
 
 A question many girlfriend seekers have to address is whether to get a new
 or a used girlfriend. The answer to this question will, roughly speaking, be
 determined by your age, as shown in the following table:
 
 Your age Used or New
 1 - 12 Years    (See note A)
 13 - 16 Years    New
 17 - 21 Years    Used, but not used up
 22 - 35 Years    Used, heavily
 36 - 60 Years    New, (See note B)
 60+    (See note A)
 
 A. Seek psychiatric help
 B. Only "new" if income > $100,000/year. Otherwise, "divorced".
 
 New girlfriends have the advantage that they have no previous bad
 experiences to project on you, but the disadvantage that they will rarely be
 old enough to open their own checking account. Used girlfriends, on the
 other hand, may be steady, reliable performers, with the initial problems
 worked out, but we advises that you avoid models which have much more than
 average mileage (2.1 SO's / yr). Much greater than the average may be an
 indication that the girlfriend was a professional.
 
 Accessories
 
 Often the potential girlfriends you see on the lot or in a tavern will be
 loaded with accessories, as the dealer gets a high markup on such items as
 large bosom, long legs, green eyes, etc. Other accessories will only appeal
 to fringe markets, such as models which come pre-equipped with children, or
 the ability run 10 miles while chanting sanskrit. In such cases you should
 make a list of accessories desired, tolerated, and disliked. Note that some
 accessories (such as children) can be added later, while others (such as a
 large bosom) must be factory installed.
 
 The Test Ride
 
 When evaluating a girlfriend, a test ride is essential. The test ride ritual
 begins with the so-called "pickup line", which can range from the simple if
 dull ("Can I buy you a drink?") to the aggressively hip ("dance with me or
 I'll kill you") to the arcane ("You're my Camus comrade, and I want to leap
 you, Faith!"). we rate as Not Acceptable "Smile, you'll look better." Once
 on the test bed, evaluate handling, stability, and acceleration. The two
 questions you want to answer are: how fast, and how far? Examine the
 detailing. Does the bosom sag? Does the heater warm adequately, or does she
 remain cool?
 
 Ordering vs. On The Lot
 
 Finding the right girlfriend can be a frustrating experience, and many
 potential customers find it hard to get the exact model and accessories
 wanted. In such cases ordering from the factory is an option. Delivery time,
 however, is from 14 to 16 years (depending on the state you live in), and we
 question the usefulness of such a practice: if you have access to the baby
 factory, you should reconsider your need for a girlfriend anyway.
 
 Methodology
 
 Girlfriends were evaluated by a dedicated group of 10 test engineers,
 selected to typify the average seeking population. All tests were performed
 at our specially constructed test facility, which included a bedroom,
 kitchen, and living room, and at a number of bars and taverns surrounding
 the facility. A series of seven tests were run, evaluating each product
 according to the following criterion: intelligence, wit, humor, empathy,
 initiative, looks, and performance.
 
 Results
 
 Girlfriends are grouped together in categories by similarity. Within each
 category, variation is not statistically significant.
 
 Goddess: This is the woman of your dreams. She comes equipped with all the
 options you want and none of the ones you don't. She can argue subtle points
 of philosophy, give you a stiff game of racquetball, understand what you
 mean even if you don't say it, and break a bed. No mental or physical
 hang-ups. The drawback is that this model is not actually available.
 
 Goddess-in-law: This model is similar to the goddess, but comes with
 contractual retainers, such as a psychotic ex-husband, a spiteful mother, an
 alcoholic father, and a bratty kid. This model tends to generate grey hairs.
 
 Ms. Right: The best all-around choice for most girlfriend situations. Has
 most of the characteristics of the Goddess except possibly in the wrong size
 or hair color. Other than that, an excellent long-term investment.
 Availability is extremely limited but can occasionally be found with luck.
 
 Babe: This is the flashy, fully-loaded variety with all the options.
 Unfortunately this model lacks cognitive powers and empathy. Showy, and
 suitable for a parade or for impressing your friends, but not for your
 long-term girlfriend needs.
 
 Friend: The model with the most empathy. Caring and kind but you wouldn't be
 caught dead in it. Availability is poor to fair, depending on quality.
 
 Yeah, Her: The Ford Escort of girlfriends. Widely available, but useful as a
 girlfriend only in a pinch, if no others are available. Tends to be spiteful
 or unreliable, or have a dull finish.
