I used to have a friend who didn't look exactly like Tom Selleck, but he had the same sort of image and aura about him, and we were constantly telling apologetic waitresses "It's okay, we're used to being ignored." Pete and I were both divorced about the same time, and another friend had just broken up with his girlfriend. Bob and I were both complaining about how awful life was, when Pete showed up. He was complaining too. Seems he had been on a date and when they got back to his place another recent date and his ex-wife were there, and it turned into a three-way fight over who was staying and who was leaving. When Pete left the room Bob said "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?".

"Can we kill him and not get caught? Yeah."

The point of this is that there was one woman we knew who was happily married to a large but rather dumpy fella, and after all the stories she had heard about Pretty Pete she finally met him. Her reaction? "Meh."
