Ed: Hey Rocky! You've been holding this wall up all night. Get out and dance with someone like that babe over there.

Rocky: No way! She's more the intellectual type. My pickup line just won't work. I like them more like sponges, soaking up every line I dish out.

Ed: Oh come on man! What kind of woman do you like?

Rocky: I want a woman that fulfills my every need, and that babe is not the right type.

Ed: Hey. Where have you been? Times are changing, and you're never going to find a woman that will shine your shoes and fill your beer mug all the time. Wake up.

Rocky: Oh really? I met a lot of woman like that, just not at this party. [Oh.] I prefer woman that stay home, cook, clean, and watch the kids.

Ed: Okay, but where do you fit into this wonder plan? I mean what are your household responsibilities once you get home from work?

Rocky: Hmm. Eat, watch TV, and throw out the trash.

Ed: Wait, wait, wait. I can't believe I'm hearing this. You're never going to get married. I recently read a news report that said that 40 percent of women don't think their husbands do their share around the house, and you seem to fit into that mold.

Rocky: That's interesting, but that doesn't change my point of view. I guess I'll have to settle for TV dinners and my dog, Rusty.

Ed: I think so. Well, hey, I could use a little intellectual pickup at this point. I like women who are open-minded and have something interesting to say. Hey, and if I stick with you here, this is going to be a long, lonely night. Say hello to Rusty for me.
