Seriously with the Mexican accent? "You were looking for a chob last fall, ees it not? Well, I need an asseestant." This is a professor being quoted here. Also, the now hairy girls wouldn't go on dates and marriages license applications were down. Because hairy girls are gross, right? And for some reason nobody wears underwear--itchiness--so underwear companies have gone out of business.
It's like, the writing is excellent, I'm interested in the story, but I keep having to stop reading because gross.
In the end, I like the story itself, and the ending, but, ugh, I am so glad we no longer excuse this sort of attitude. (At least some of us no longer excuse it. More of us than in the late 30s.)
