BOFH: Geeks on heat
"So let me get this straight," I say to the PFY. "You want me to give you a reasonable amount of time to make a suave first impression - and engage her in some meaningful conversation about one of her interest topics - then bust in with some huge problem that only you can fix which will make you look like someone pretty bloody …
The line "Your wife called and said her water's broken and she needs you to come home and take care of the triplets while she drives herself to hospital again...And she said that if you're not home in 20 minutes she's going to burn your porn and flush your viagra down the toilet." had me laughing out loud at my desk. Good thing almost everyone's away to lunch, then. Well written as usual. Quality.
Re Above, fantastic stuff; Now if only she was also into installing Gentoo from stage 1 tarballs and perhaps a little beer brewing you'd get my wife.
Where or where art thou?

I guess there are ALL types.
Sounds like the BOFH and PFY needs their heads checked. Other than the Line Dancing, (ok no one is completely perfect,) she is perfect.
Imaginative, (D&D,) and cultured, (book club,) and reliant on her other halves technical skills, (i.e. technically inept....which makes us feel all manly.) What more could you want :)
We even have a club! (no seriously - we do!)
