I made the off-hand remark to a co-worker one day that I didn't care if I ever got married or not. It didn't matter to me. He (yes, I said HE) said, "well, I guess you'll just end up a bitter old woman with a bunch of cats." I just said, "yea, well, they better be hairless because I'd be in dire straights if they weren't. BTW, I'm allergic to cats."
