I promise your day will be greatly enhanced by reading this nonagenarian’s take on life – just like her second husband’s “ding dong”!

The interview appeared in Esquire but is actually ,”from writer (The Every Boy) and Oscar-nominated filmmaker (Murderball) Dana Adam Shapiro’s You Can Be Right (Or You Can Be Married) collection of interviews with divorcees. Now out in paperback.

It was hard to pick, but I think my favorite part of the whole piece is this – 

Question: What made [your third marriage] so good?

Answer: “First of all, you have to be sexually compatible. That’s very important. If anyone tells you different, they’re nuts. And he was extravagant; he liked living the way I did. We used to dance, which I love to do. We used to drink, have a few cocktails. And he had a lot of friends. I met them all. They were all cheaters. Most men are cheaters—you know that, don’t you? I could meet a cheater tomorrow if I wanted to. But I’ve had enough men. I’m 98 years old, what the hell do I want a man for? What can I give him? What can he give me? Nothing”

Happy Hump Day from 98-year-old Pauline and me!
