Without

Cheating

Late Monday afternoon my manicurist Irina tortured my toe again, probably because I’m still not married. While doing this she discussed strategies to avoid falling into the trap of gold diggers.
At the end of the session, she said to me with her beautiful Russian accent: “There is only one type of man that doesn’t cheat. Cheap men.” Then she sighed and whispered: “American men are so cheap. They don’t want to pay for anything. But what’s love without money? Believe me, not much. Not much.”
