Scattered thoughts inspired by Sixty minutes

Sixty minutes was most indefinately created for old people. Case-in-point: ducolax, fiber laxitive commercials, are aired on nearly every commercial break.

Anyway, thats beside the point. More importantly, tonight  on sixty minutes they were reviewing some of the great interviews that were conducted by the late Don Hewitt. I'm not really familiar with him.

But...what caught my attention, as I sat at my reception desk in the waiting room tonight, was that Don Hewitt once interviewed Gorbichoff (?) Is that how you spell it?
Anyway, during the interview, which was conducted outside on Gorbichoff's private tennis court, the dictator noted that when he and his wife were first married they had very little money and therefore did not have much furniture.

"We had to do everything on the floor", he said, "we ate on the floor, we made love on the floor."
He paused a moment, then added, "That's why we got girls."

really?

"Tommy, you think thats true?" I ask, turning to face my co-worker.
She looks up from the catalogue she's thumbing through. "huh? what?"
"Gorbichoff just said if you make love on the floor you'll concieve a girl. You think that's true?"
Tommy just grins politely and shakes her head.
"I've heard lots of old wives tales about how to concieve a certain sex of child, but I've never heard that one."

Suddenly a miriad of memories flood my brain. Memories you don't want to hear anything about. Come to think of it though, both of my girls were concieved on the floor. Coincidence? Probably. But my very interesting and creative son Matthew, concieved via car. Could that have something to do with his creative personality?
Creative love making = creative offspring.
Its an interesting and creative idea.
