Well, to be brutally honest, we wouldn鈥檛 actually want a woman around, would we, Jerry? I mean a game of squash isn鈥檛 simply a game of squash, it鈥檚 rather more than that. You see, first there鈥檚 the game. And then there鈥檚 the shower. And then there's the pint. And then there鈥檚 the lunch. After all, you鈥檝e been at it. You鈥檝e had your battle. What you want in your pint and your lunch. You really don鈥檛 want a woman buying your lunch. You don鈥檛 actually want a woman within a mile of the place, any of the places, really. You don鈥檛 want her in the squash court, you don鈥檛 want her in the shower, or the pub, or the restaurant. You see, at lunch you want to talk about squash, or cricket, or books, or even women with your friend, and be able to warm to your theme without fear of improper interruption. That鈥檚 what it鈥檚 all about. What do you think, Jerry?
