So this is a story I heard, more or less, with a few minor changes:
I’m just a middle-aged guy, a little on the heavy side, a nose like a beak, yeah okay, not your type, but I’m a nice guy, all the same, and I’m looking to meet someone.  So I go to bars, and you know, say nice things to ladies.  Nothing.  No one’s into me.  It’s bad.  It’s like everyone’s saying you’re not my kind.  So I put an ad in the Personals: 50 + man looking for sweet young thing. I don’t say exactly that, but I get my message across.  But no one calls, so I start checking around on my own.  And I see this chick  . . .  Well, there was more than one. But I see them in this window, and at first it’s just a glimpse.  I know. I just know. This my chance  So I go on in, and I try to get the girls to talk to me.  The first is a total failure. You know how that goes.  And the second? She doesn’t seem to mind. Too much. Not like she’s walking away, but she doesn’t answer.  So I get my nerve up.  I give her a pick on the cheek.  Just a peck.  No big deal, right? You’d have thought I killed her.   What happened then . . .  Yeah, okay, so someone made a little video of it.  I guess he thought it was funny--watching the fat guy after the chicks.  http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~jima/free.mov
