or how about... she is at first intoxicated by his simple manliness, his one-word answers, his creative use of canned beans and spaghettios, the square set of his jaw, the expressionless face upon which she can project ALL of her most vivid fantasies. then one morning she notices, hey, his pages aren't even real pages, they're actually cardboard panels like a baby book. and he's shaped just like a can of beans! how could she not have noticed? and he doesn't wear white puffy sleeved shirts laced loosely at the neck, or leather breeches, or ride a black stallion like her ex-boyfriends all did. instead he wears plaid shirts and drives a primered 1982 El Camino whose interior smells of grease. and he spends every weekend watching sports and yelling at the TV. so one day she tells herself, if he serves me one more dinner based on canned ham and cream of mushroom soup I'm leaving him. and he does. and she does. and he ends up in the remainder bin marked down to $3.95, while she goes on to sell a million copies.
