Here's a bit of dialogue from "The Light Fantastic" by Terry Pratchett. Specially chosen for the older gentlemen members of this forum
(Note that the character Cohen is speaking with a slight lisp due to lack of teeth.)
...."When I wash a young man, carving my name in the world, well, then I liked my women red-haired and fiery."
....."Ah."
....."And then I grew a little older and for preference I looked for a woman with blonde hair and the glint of the world in her eye."
....."Oh? Yes?"
....."But then I grew a little older again and I came to see the point of dark women of a sultry nature."
.....He paused. Rincewind waited.
....."And?" he said. "Then what? What is it that you look for in a woman now?"
.....Cohen turned on rheumy blue eye on him.
....."Patience," he said.
