Why does this post remind me of the Broadway show/movie "Grease"?  Or how
about Marlon Brando in one of his earlier movies, running around on a motorcyle and
eyeing
a sweet young high school girl in a small town?

I'm old enough to remember guys with greeeeasy ducktail haircuts (yes, the back of their
head looked like the rear end of a duck) who always carried a comb in their pockets.
And this was 7th grade!

When we're at that age we're all dazzled by the images given to us.
Then we grow up and get smarter and aren't so likely to date Danny Zuko, but go
for the computer nerd, because the nerd (Bill Gates) is going to make a pile more
cash and be a lot more stable than old greeeesy Danny.
