Living alone


I was thinking about what a friend had said, and I realised that living alone has certain advantages.

Fight!

Living alone vs. living with a woman.

Well the contestants are stepping into the ring here. Living with a woman certainly looks better dressed, well groomed, and more well fed than Living alone.
And here we go. Round One. Living alone has switched on the TV and he says, "Oh! Football. Great."
Living with a woman is trying to compete but unfortunately the football clashes with Coronation Street and he's forced onto the ropes.
But oh! There's been a development.
Living alone's parents have called round unexpectly and it looks like he's in trouble here.
It  certainly does Harry. He hasn't hoovered the place in a week and the sink is full of unwashed washing up.
"Look at the state of this place! Do you live like this?"
"No. I was just about to do it. I've been sort of busy, you know?"
Living with a woman sees his chance and moves in by opening his fridge to reveal a well stocked larder of healthy nutritional food.
Living  alone can only respond with a weak week old carton of milk and a piece of Parmesan cheese that's been in there since God knows when.
It's a knockout victory. Living alone is rubbish. While Living with a woman is world champion.

Hmm. This sounds like I'm trying to be deep, but I never meant it to be that way when I started writing it. It's not like I'm a desperately lonely person or anything, but I do think you become very "set in your ways" when you live alone.And I don't know if that's a good thing. Humans are social animals.
So if you don't already have another  person to share your life with, grab one as soon as possible, and hold on to them and never let go.
Now, don't just go out into the street and literally do that. You might get arrested for that.
