I have a guilty pleasure. Once in a while I like to read romance novels. Those kinds where the covers are these muscular guys are posing with barely dressed women as highlanders, cowboys, or pirates? They're mindless and sometimes that's all right when you do a lot of researching because the brain needs to rest from time to time.
Then I realized that if the Powers That Be or the Senior Partners ever brought one of those guys here? He'd either be eaten within an hour or turn and run with his kilt flapping in the breeze. They make them out in the summaries on the back to be these big he-men but there is nothing in the book that ever gives evidence in support of that. In fact, I bet the so-called "damsels in distress" are better equipped to save their butts than they are to save the ladies.
I bet they take longer in front of the mirror longer than I do too.
