My heart goes out to all those poor women who did not marry me. I hope their plans to marry Prince Charming worked out. They might have been happier if they had taken Old Faithful.
In college as we sat around commiserating that we did not have a date for the week-end, or any other part of the week, we created two badges of achievement. One was the NGB medal and the other was the Brown Helmet award.
The NGB stood for Nice Guy, But.... If you are a prince charming you never had a chance for this one. It is what would eventually come out when we were talking to a young lady we considered a prospect. My opinion is that nice guys made better soul mates, but what do I know.
As for the Brown Helmet, that was often awarded to the guy who thought he was making progress our would not settle for the NGB competition. I will leave it to your imagination to decipher the imagery.
For those of you who missed your chance, all I can say is, “Sorry girls, I am already taken.” After 48 years if anything should change I want you to know that I do bear a grudge.
I am not sure my wife would agree with this.
