Things that come in mail these days are pretty scary. Especially I am worried about those pre filled credit card applications that are sent to my mail box. If some one get them from my mail box and change the ID, they can be spending lot of the money on those credit card, never to pay back. Recently I came across an article on cookeyed.com.

How Men Decide About Their Future (Excess, Expense or Savings)
A man is dating three women and now he has to decide which one he wants to marry. Giving them a test, he gives each of the women a present of $5,000. Then, watches to see what each one does with the money.
The first does a total make over. She goes to a fancy beauty salon, gets a new hairstyle, new makeup and buys several new outfits and dresses up nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much. The man was quite impressed.
The second woman goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive new clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much. Again, the man is much impressed.
