- One more corroborating example:
-
- The closer to me my last girlfriend has lived in the past two years, the
- more strained things became, until she finally got the Drop-Kick of Doom
- out of my life earlier this week while living within walking distance.
-
- On the other hand, when I look at who's in line as possible replacements,
- I find the three I'm looking most fondly upon:
- (1) 30 miles away, (2) two hours away, and (3) seven hours away,
- with the likelihood of acceptance going up as I move down the list.
-
- Has X Industries been suppling AT&T with neurological warfare devices that
- cause people to fall for each other, move very far apart and make long-distance
- calls?
