Good luck girls!

Last week I brought home from work a hilarious book that had been passed around the workroom. Had a flick through it tonight.
"Every Woman's Luck Book: What every woman needs to know to choose a husband", 2002. Allen & Unwin, Crows Nest.

Originally published in the 1930's, it has everything on decoding dreams; reading tea leaves and handwriting; what his handwriting and the shape of his ears says about his personality.
The chapter on Phrenology is wonderfully titled "Bumps that betray"!
According to my handwriting I am an optimist but beset by meaness; undaunted and yet easily distracted. Hmmm.
And my 'Lucky Birthday Forecast' says that "marriage will change [my] life from dullness to gladness; children will gladden it still more". Double hmmmm.

Oh, and take note girls; Mr Z's nose clearly shows that he has "Pride and reserve, with a capacity for intense feeling". We couldn't find out what his ears say about him. But I'm hoping for his sake that they mean he has a capacity for decision making - what, with all the girls flocking around at the moment.
Naturally, I found some words of advise for him in the book...
Take two apples pips and 'name' each one with the names of your two sweethearts. Stick them on your cheek and the last one standing is your true sweetheart. *grins* It seems an odd way to choose between people. And if he tries it - I'll be sure to have a camera handy. We won't be able to see his cheek for pips!
