Sorry West Virginia. You may click off my column now. However, from this point on any mention of 'flings' will be those of the sexual kind and will not involve any 'shopping' or 'shooting', well, at least no shooting that I will admit to in this public forum. For the record, none of the flings that I have ever had involved 'lively Scottish dancing'. If they did, I am sure a shooting spree would have soon followed.
Relationships can often lead to marriage.
More than half of all marriages end in divorce. Chalk up a point for flings. Soon afterward his girlfriend left him, accusing him of beating her. I have always believed that the one thing that can beat a good relationship is a good beating. Fortunately in most 'flings', one never gets to know the other well enough to want to physically beat them.
