Scientists Are Hotter Than Brad Pitt


A week or so ago Sweety is sitting around reading People ( which I don’t think anyone over the age of 30 should do, but if that’s her only vice, whatever ) and Jennifer Aniston is on the cover. So I say, “Nice of her and Vince Vaughn to be so discreet. And Brad Pitt is definitely winning that battle.”

She doesn’t look up. She has been through this kind of thing about 8 bazillion times - because I keep count. “What do you mean?” she asks. Because she is inherently polite.

I say, “Well, Brad Pitt went from Jennifer Aniston to Angelina Jolie. About the same in looks but way over the top on the deviant sex scale. Aniston went from Brad Pitt to … Vince Vaughn. Not really a step up.”

“But how do you go up from Brad Pitt?” she asks.

I stew on that for a minute. Then I say, “What the hell does that mean, how do you go up from Brad Pitt? I am better than Brad Pitt.”

She doesn’t miss a beat. “Yeah, but Jennifer can’t have you. You’re taken.”
