Was that an offer?

That's a fucked up thing to say because you know he's going to half-believe this bullshit.

The businesswomen they've had on the show haven't shown any of those things; they've been smart, hardworking, etc. They're just normal looking women who get the job done. It's a shitty message to send to people that T&A are more important than getting the job done.
What about the hot women who aren't intelligent or hardworking? Shouldn't they be able to succeed in business also?

Sexist fuck.

You're right.

NotBob, they're WAY too busy talking about mmmmwhatever and company; you're just that nice regular who noticed her hair -- now why couldn't her boyfriend do that?

If you weren't so nice, maybe she'd...

I'm not offended. I just want to smack you. I don't think you're a bastard for writing "Homely, even." Bastard would imply that you were someone with some edge, rather than a mere dolt.

But please, do go on about how those homely women have succeeded despite their looks, because they are smart and hardworking, and all of these other condescending compliments you can pay the little ladies who don't get you hot, but shouldn't worry about it, because at least they're successful.

Thank goodness we have you to point out that the messages sent about women in business by the Apprentice are mixed. Because, you know, none of the women here had given these issues much thought before you came along.

Especially the ones who only bill 2000 hours. I mean, I either have blow sunshine up the partner's ass, or hint -- say, by wearing a low cut sweater, short skirt, and stiletto-heeled black leather boots -- that I'd be willing to do so, in the right circumstances.

Just think of it as my little Generic Winter Gift Giving Holiday gift to all y'all.

Speaking of gifts, don't be cheap when it comes to spending on your secretary. Unless she's hot* and you're married.

Or him. I had a friend from law school whose first secretary at a SF law firm was a dude.

If I agree that mmmm is a sexist fuck, will you pursue this narrative a little more?

You're becoming strident. And you look great in that low cut sweater, short skirt, and stiletto-heeled black leather boots.

You are correct that we hot, smart, funny women are hard to come by, but we are easy to come on. Sometimes a little too easy, unfortunately, because we get you all wound up and most of the way there without even realizing it.

That's why a short refractory period is good.

Alex, in exchange for full payment of some medical bills and an extra kicker just for fun, I have agreed not to disclose anything about the sizes of SS or Coltrane. That, and I'm terrified of their girlfriends, so I have no clue.
