I don’t know if you know who Emerson Fittipaldi is, but he is one of the world’s greatest car racers.

A number of years ago I was in Jake’s bar in downtown Portland and there were a bunch of race car drivers in there as there had been a race in our area. One older guy kept hanging around me and even asked me to go to dinner with him. 

He was from Brazil. Anyway, he wasn’t coming on strong, more just curious about me. He was telling me all about who the other drivers there were and how good or not so good they were as drivers.

He became the famous Emerson Fittapaldi  in a few more years!

You know what he said to me? He asked me if I had ever been married. I said no. He said YOU ARE TOO SMART TO GET MARRIED.

But, a lot of smart women do get married. But, they marry the right men if they are smart enough, I guess.

But, imagine…Emerson Fittipaldi. If anyone asks me why I never married I will simply quote him….and if they know anything about the sport of car racing their jaws will drop! What a way to shut someone up on this topic! I love it!
