I had a laughable conversation with a friend.
He told me his wife has an...interesting...behavior pattern when they are relaxing on the couch watching a television show or movie.
Apparently, she feels it is necessary to point out to her husband whenever an actor she considers good-looking appears on the screen.
As in "That guy right there is good-looking. I'm just saying."
My friend wasn't sure what kind of societal catastrophe or black hole of ignorance was being avoided by her "just saying" this information.
I said I wasn't sure either, but I AM sure of something else: He would be wise to refrain from returning the favor. You know, just keep his opinions about the relative attractiveness of any given actress completely to himself.
Neither of us wanted to even think about how that exchange would go down.
Then my friend added this "ba-dum-tiss" final thought: "And the thing is. None of these so-called good-looking men look anything at all like me."
