If You Had Five Minutes to Live…
Really horrible headline, but I’m just the messenger. It’s lifted from a question Piers Morgan asked Barbara Walters during a recent interview:
MORGAN: Come on, which man, if you had five minutes to live, you would take –
WALTERS: If I had five minutes to live, I wouldn’t want to be with any man.
MORGAN: Really?
WALTERS: If I had five minutes to live, I would be with my daughter and closest friends. At this point in my life, I would not want to [be] with any one man.
And while I’m venting, please read Bella DePaulo’s fantastic response to a Washington Post article perpetrating the “marriage makes you healthier” myth.
