Oh the memories. In the seventies, my brother had a lot of girlfriends, all named Linda, Melinda or Melissa. He just called them all Sunshine. He also gave them all the same bracelet with the same engraving. My brother and sister were in the same senior class. Sis grabbed his adress book and just invited all the girls he had starred. When they got there, and saw the bracelets, they began to talk.Brother had to head for the high timber to avoid a scene like this one!

“Orpheus had abstained from the love of women, either because things ended badly for him, or because he had sworn to do so.
