A man boarded a flight to New York and settled comfortably into his seat.
A few minutes later, a strikingly beautiful woman walked down the aisle. To his delight, she stopped at his row and took the seat right beside him.
Trying to start a conversation, he smiled and asked, “Business trip or holiday?”
She smiled back. “Business. I’m attending an annual relationships convention in New York.”
The man raised an eyebrow. “That sounds interesting. What do you do there?”
“I’m one of the speakers,” she said. “I give lectures about popular myths when it comes to romance and attraction.”
Now he was very interested.
“Really?” he asked. “What kind of myths?”
“Well,” she explained, “for example, some people think the most charming men are wealthy businessmen, but our research suggests musicians are often much better at making women feel special.”
The man nodded carefully.
She continued, “And many people assume athletes are the most confident, but actually, cowboys tend to be the boldest.”
He leaned in a little.
“And overall,” she added, “the best partners are said to be easygoing Southern gentlemen with a sense of humor.”
Suddenly, the woman blushed.
“I’m sorry,” she said. “I really shouldn’t be discussing this with you. I don’t even know your name.”
The man sat up straight, smiled, and said:
“My name is Billy Guitar McCowboy… but my friends call me Bubba.”
