Long e

I've been doing some thinking. As part of said thinking, I've decided that I'm done dating girls whose name ends in the long e. Not versed in your Phonemics? Well, let me give you some examples of the long e.

Eagle
Easel
East
Emu

No, I haven't been dating any Emu's. Ha Ha. Very Funny. But I have dated and/or liked an Amy, a Jeni, a Jessi, an Annie, a Jamie, Janie, an Allie, a Jenny, and another Jamie.

All of them have turned out dismally. Yes, this could be considered prejudice. And no, I don't care. Maybe if there weren't so many bad seeds out there whose named has a long e in it, then maybe, I wouldn't be stereotyping you all. Yes, I know I have a long e in my name. But I haven't heard any reports of any bad Neil's out there wreaking havoc. If any of you scorned long e women out there know any long e men who need a stern talking-to. Let me know. I'll give them a piece of my mind.

Since Jennie is short for Jennifer, this rule of thumb of yours should not and does not apply to "Jennifers", which name has absolutely no long e's. (If in fact their real name is Jennie, I think I will have to agree with you.)
