The mad cow indicator

I went on 2 dates with this woman who was suspicious of me because I said I was politically conservative. I didn't think anything of her suspicions because I live in a left-wing town where most people are suspicious of conservatives. (I also exchanged some emails and phone calls, but that's all.)

It turns out that she had a previous boyfriend who was conservative, and she was annoyed by his poor performance in bed and his lack of concern for mad cow disease. So when I said that I didn't worry about mad cow disease, it triggered alarm bells, and she decided that I'd probably be lousy in bed!

Hmmm. I'll have to get used to dating again.
