		THE 14 POINT SYSTEM FOR WOMEN
		-----------------------------
How about you?  How good do you feel? And how do you rate in the above system?
(females, males, and wombats of any persuasion may apply)
/* ---------- */

Well, since you went and asked about wombats by name, and I'm feeling
talkative with no persuasion at all...

2 colors - blue jeans, blue tennies, lavender T-shirt (took the brown socks
	off earlier today when I noticed they weren't purple)
glasses - do I have to add an extra point for aviators?
F-4 Phantom II belt buckle - rather visible
watch - not a silly digital with a metal or plastic band, mind you, but one
	with mechanical parts with a leather band (and why is it so hard to
	find a plain, black leather watchband?)
simple shoes - you can't get much simpler than your basic converse basketball
	shoe, and these don't even have open toes or heels yet..
eye-arresting features - well, this T-shirt (American Association of Uppity
	Women) does seem to attract more attention than most of my others.
	does waist-length hair get included here?

Golly, zowee, 4753 points! (did I count that right? no? only 7 or so points?
maybe I need more practice?) Still, only two more points and I could be in
business? Somehow, I don't think wearing nail polish and putting a bow on my
T-shirt is going to get me anywhere on Wall St. And whoever made this list
up seems to think glasses are some kind of fashion accessory that you can
add or drop to get your points right! Sure, I can see without them, but it
gives me a headache if I try that for too long. I guess I shouldn't be
invited to any parties, either, since I don't own any make-up or nail polish
or earrings. Maybe if I wore all my necklaces and got a chain for my glasses
I could make it up to 14 points?  Right. Red hair, fer chrissake. This could
lead to another "I Hate Dondi" sort of contest...
