Just so you know, in my version of reality Miss Foster quit the Left-Handed Paper Clip Company later that year.
She then started her own corporation, Digital Paper Clips (“For all your digital paper needs.”)
She eventually sold the company; married a Mr. Robinson (briefly); and invested half her money in plastics and the rest in an online dating service called Cougars.R.Us.com
She is much richer and happier than you.

Fortunately, Stella discovers that Denny is taking the next train out of town. And so…

Joking aside, we all know that only some women are like cars.
Most women are more like bicycles. No driver’s licenses are required. Simple to maintain. Easy to ride. Crash helmets recommended.
Only fast, expensive women are like cars.
