Many years ago, I asked the father of a girl that I was going with why the Italian men always waited until they were so old to get married, He told me that if they married a good woman, she was well worth waiting for and if she wasn't all that great, then they didn't have to live with her as long s they would have by getting married when younger.

Got me a good one and she does all the cooking. I do good to just turn on the coffee pot.
