Bah; coyote girls, hyena girls, raccoon girls -- they achieve an
approximate ranking of only 2.0 on the Richard Scale of Ugliness.

(Richard is a guy I used to know who'd blind-date a lot.) (The
Richard Scale, like its near-namesake, measures faults on a log-         
arithmic scale graduated from 1.0 to 10.0, however the tags differ
somewhat.  The Richard Scale runs something like

	1.0 (for ex-girlfriends)  
	 .
	 .
	 .
to	10.0 (the face Nero looked at before burning Rome) )

The Richard Scale is an invaluable aid to composing hyperbole.

p.s.! (
Now one poor girl was so ugly, when she looked into a Mirror
of Truth, the mirror said, "No comment." (5.0, wouldn't you say?)
      )
