I had my ESL class read about Audie Murphy tonight.
After finishing our reading of all his death-defying exploits, all the students really wanted to know was "Why do girls always think big, strong guys are the ones to pick?" (It was an all-guy class this evening.)
Audie was 5'4" and 112 pounds, and we were all in agreement that looks are an inaccurate indicator of the more important aspects of a man.
Of course, after the war, Audie had poontang coming out his ears.

Audie Murphy: Got a lot of tail.
At 5'6", I endorse this post.

I almost spit up a lung at that ...

Hell of a guy.

Posted by: Donnah at May 26, 2005 07:01 AMActually, Donnah, I meant small men. As is "small man's syndrome".
