You have my sympathy, for sure. But this does remind me of the classic multiple-choice examination you give to a prospective candidate for a traveling salesman's job. You relate this scenario. A salesman takes his client out to dinner at a nice restaurant and after a while spots a really sharp young woman at another table. Having had a drink or two, he begins to describe, in lurid detail, what he would do with the woman if given the opportunity. The client says in a matter-of-fact tone of voice, "That young woman is my daughter." Here's the multiple choice: A) Pretend you are being treated for a rare mental illness. B) Offer to marry her. C) Apologize profusely. D) Leave your table, go sit down with the young woman, relate the whole story again and hope for the best.

I'm thinking that you, like the guy in the story, might want to admit that it is all true and hope for the best.
