Having indulged in that most guilty of pleasures, the movie "Troy", with Brad Pitt,  I mused on the decline in relative value of women in these recent times.
 
After all, Helen had, as the legend had it, "the face that launched a thousand ships"; and her abduction by Paris led to the ruinous Trojan war where buff guys ran around in armor and fought each other with swords.  What a story!  She must have been quite a gal, though not one of emulable morals.  (Typical Holywood material, maybe.)
 
But I can understand her point.  Menelaus must have been a dull old stick, palling around with his drinking buddies while leaving Helen at home and never taking her dancing, much less shopping in the agora.  You see, wives were supposed to have wifely virtues such as sewing, rather than womanly wiles.  Take the Odessey: After the Trojan War Odysseus got to cat around the whole Mediterranian with chicks like Circe and the Sirens while poor Penny had to stay at home and sew.  Or weave.  Uh . . . . I didn't take that course in school.  Maybe that's it.  These warrior types prefer women with skills other than putt-putt.
 
Still, it's natural to wonder how would I fare: how many many ships would be launched on my behalf; and would I really rate a war with buff guys fighting in cool costumes.  I visited my old friend, the Mad Psychometrician Scientist, and brought him a bread-and-butter gift: Jack Daniel's.  He told me he could help me.  Withough going into the science and the math (which is above me for sure), he esitmated that four garbage scows and (looking me over again) a zodiac would be launched on my behalf.  And four geeks would play paintball until 'Green Acres' reruns came on T.V..   
 
Actually, if the truth was to be known, back while I was in high school, two boys cut cards over me at a mixer.

Pop Tart gets the Eye
 
(OP) Cat's Meow, USA: Today in this small hamlet overrun by cats
the inhabitants were abuzz about the latest episode of cantankerous
goings on. It seems this village, which is no where near the water, was
invaded by boats of all sizes which wound up at the address of one EvIl
PoP TaRt. All told there were one hundred and forty-two boats and ships
of all sizes. The police were summonded and were directing traffic and doing crowd control. Ms TaRt stated she was astonished and at a loss for the
assortment of letters and emails she has received concerning a comment
she published on the net. It seems she was shocked at the movie and the story of Helen of Troy and had consulted the Mad Psychometrician Scientist
whom had estimated Ms TaRt would have elicited a response similar to Helen of Troy in modern times by attracting four garbage scowls and a
zodiac.
The Mayor of Cat's Meow, Ubergato, stated this was apparently a compliment aimed at Ms TaRt to prove she was worth her weight (and far more) in ships and boats. Ubergato stated the cats had shown up for miles
in anticipation of a feast of fish normally associated with such a large fleet.
He added, "There was a fishy smell in the air."
At presstime the traffic in this town had come to a standstill and Ms TaRt
had been seen peeking out the windows of her house with a wide grin on
her face. Developing. Film at 11.

Thanks much, guys!  I actually sat through Troy and didn't make any untoward remarks. 
 
Especial thanx to you, Fan Man, for summoning up the land-based kitty armada.  Surely there must be a scent in the air!  It kind of smells like Delacroix Island, but that's okay!
 
The Odd Ark?  Now will it have casino gambling on it?  That's something the news should report.  Riding along . . . .
