- Did I insist that most women are not for sale. I am not most women, so
- I cannot speak for them. You could not set a price high enough to
- buy me, or almost anyone I know. This, I suppose says something about
- the people I know. The fact that you can buy (and I don't doubt that
- you can) most women you have run into, says something about where you
- are running. Or that you are so sure perhaps says something about
- you having bought many women. Perhaps you couldn't find any that were
- interested.

-
- No. I cannot confirm or deny what is true about the woman you know. All
- I can say is that you must know some pretty sleezy women. No wonder
- you were discussing the emotional results of being dumped with Liz.
- I wish you better luck in the future.
