but you can't juggle while driving a car

I visited my brother over the weekend. On the way home from dim sum, he was talking about where he could go to meet smart girls in the LA area.

Tom: "Maybe I should swing by Caltech."

Me: "You'll be competing for a few girls with a ton of guys."

Tom: "I can take on Caltech guys. I'll just say, 'Ladies! I take showers!'"

Me: "Caltech guys shower too."

Tom: "'Ladies! I wear shoes!'"

Me: "Oh, that's a good one."

Tom: "'Ladies! I get around in a car instead of a unicycle!'"

Me: [laughing]

Tom: "'My choice of transportation has four wheels!'"

  2. "Tom: "I can take on Caltech guys. I'll just say, 'Ladies! I take showers!'""

    OMG, I laughed out loud when I read that. Funny. I imagine the male-to-female ratio at Caltech is even more distorted than in Silicon Valley.

  3. Your bro could start a Hackerdojo in LA. And teach game programming classes. And then the hot smart girls would come to him. :) And then they would get married, start a video company together and live happily ever after. Like a Pixar movie. Note the change from the Disney movie.

  4. Someone once said that for girls at Caltech interested in guys, "the odds are good, but the goods are odd." =)

  5. @ArC - women say that a lot in Silicon Valley / the Bay Area. But women are spoiled here. I had a friend who moved up from LA, and she said her self-esteem went *way* up...

    Tom will have a whole lot better luck in Pasadena (outside of the Caltech campus) than here, though I don't know how smart the women are in Silicone Valley :) Or maybe he should hang out around UCLA & USC :)

  6. Okay, but when he drives up to the campus, hangs out the window and starts bagging on some barefoot dude's unicycle, what are the smart girls going to think?
