My 3rd fiancee was Indian and a vegetarian.

I went to her house one day and watched her (dressed in a white sari) cook a meal from scratch - flour, herbs, spices etc. It was the most magical and beautiful thing I have ever watched.

However, she cooked me some meat. I knew what that meant to her - and to this day I get quite emotional thinking about it.

She was the one that got away.

I fear asking what happened to numbers one and two.

I was once at a dinner, many years ago, where everyone at the large table was a bachelor ... and all had such a tale.  A sad lot we were.
