Lee Iacocca had the concept back in his Ford days but Henry Ford II
killed the idea. Which was dumb. You'd think that the guy who
invented the Mustang could do anything he wanted to after that.

A Cougar is in the same age group as a Soccer Mom but has a very
different personality. Cougars are thirty something women, usually
slim and in good shape, who prowl after younger men. When Raine took
up carpentry she got quite athletic and muscular and lost 40 pounds
getting back to the same weight she was when I first met her, when
she was 13. Most of her classmates at the trade school were 17-19
year old guys and they were paying her a lot of attention despite
the age difference. (She's not really a cougar as she didn't
reciprocate and her boyfriend is in fact older than her.)

... "Melon" flavor doesn't exist in nature. "Melon" is a category.
