Third trophy wife, eh? Now why does that sound vaguely familiar here in 2024?

Considering that Phil Slackmeyer was nothing but a selfish sperm donor, Mark doesn’t owe him a thing!

Apparenty he had $27 in the bank

Was that third wife’s name Felonia?

Even 20 years ago, a million wouldn’t buy a trophy wife.

Sounds like a friend’s wife who once said “I thought I was marrying a rich man.”

“I really don’t care, do you?”

Shoulda married James(OBSCENE PROFITS) Andrews instead

Bring self-employed, Mark’s father may not have had “company insurance”—-but the more he appeared, the bigger a louse he was,

Ah, yes, the gold digger who neglects to look at financial statements first. It’s an old story.

That’s one thing I’ve never been accused of.

Amazing that a concept like “trophy wife” exists, and even moreso that women willingly take up that mantle

Man, is it just me, or is it time for 9-11 so we can get past these lame early 21st century thoughts ??? Just my 2 cents!
