Revitalizing Cream, Looking Great, and Time Expended

Revitalizing Cream, Looking Great, and Time Expended

In the wonderful, eternal back and forth between men and women, comes the issue of looking great vs. time expended to look great.

“I’ll be ready in two hours,” she says, “my revitalizing cream needs to really soak in…”

“Revitalizing cream!” he counters, “what the heck is revitalizing cream, and why, once defined, do you need – 1,7,9 – ten different jars of revitalizing cream in varying degrees of price range and intensity?”

“When we were dating,” she shoots back, “you said my skin was fresh as a milkmaid’s from a Thomas Hardy novel – how do you think it gets that way? Revitalizing cream, sir!”

“Okay, your skin does look great,” he concedes, “but how much revitalizing cream do you really need to get that way? You always look great.”

“Thank you,” she replies, “but keeping pretty skin requires constant care, attention and copious amounts of revitalizing cream – and it’s not just a matter of beauty – skin is important to health for women and men – you’d look younger and more prosperous with healthy looking skin – I bet it’d help you get that promotion.”

“O.K., sign me up,” he agrees, “I can still be a tough man with great skin and jars and jars of revitalizing cream.”

“Still two hours till I’m ready,” she says and shuts the door.
