A Disconcerting Truth

Today, as I was eating lunch in the lounge, I overheard some teachers (who were not THAT old) talking about how back in the "day", there were clear cut heart-throbs like Clark Gable, Dean Martin, etc. And today, there doesn't seem to be any one actor that every girl is drooling over. They looked over at me and asked if I could think of any popular heart-throbs that every girl loved. I didn't know.... Jude Law? Brad Pitt? At this point my aide chimed in with: "You know who I really like? That Howie Mandel!"

I looked at her to find out if she was serious. She was.
