I have a friend with a brilliant idea. He suggests that we should all have bar codes. Upon meeting a new person, especially a potential partner or friend, they can be scanned to divulge all that makes us "special".
This way we know right off the bat, rather than wading through awkward first dates, or ending up four years into a relationship and finally realizing the dreaded "oh, I can't fix him after all" or "this person is an absolute riot, you will have a blast and likely end up in jail together."
Usually we should be able to figure these things out right away, but sometimes we are so blindly optimistic (or stupid) that a simple bar code scan would save us some trouble, or at least hint at the circus to come.
"This is Michelle. She's a nice girl, a bit odd, loves cheesecake, and already has her bags packed for the next adventure. Or commitment freakout."
