Specialized Marketing 101: The best way to get a woman to buy something is to make it sound insulting, like "Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives" (Maybe that's a really good book, but I never got past glancing at the cover.)

I don't know if you saw it, but this guy was on The Colbert Report. They took [presumably phony] calls from people asking about relationships. Stephen kept cutting off Greg to supply his own bad advice. Greg was getting really pissed off. It was pretty funny.

June 6: Asking about your sister is also a sign.
