Bachelor #80 Show and Tell

A ninja is defined as a 14th century Japanese mercenary agent trained in the martial arts and hired for covert operations such as assassination and sabotage.
Imagine my surprise when I ran across this profile headline from a 32 year old stock broker.

"I have a handful of ninjas want to see?"

Did this segue into something original and relevant?
No.
Was it a prelude to a cyberkiss?
No.
Did a clever punchline whisper sweet ninja-nothings in my ear?

Thrice, no.

With a dirge in his heart and a ten-foot sword in his pocket, he simply concluded, "looking for someone I can be myself with."

For once, I'm speechless.

YOU CAN'T PROMISE TO HAVE NINJAS AND THEN NOT HAVE NINJAS! THAT IS NOT COOL. THIS BACHELOR ANGERS ME. HENCE THE ALL CAPS!

Oh, is THAT what we're calling it these days? I bet he calls it his ninja when he's in front of a computer screen in a dark room... eeeeewwwwwww, creepy!

Calm down, Nate. I wouldn't mess with a guy who has multiple ninjas if I were you.

Okay, I will calm down, but I am not too worried. I don't think that guy actually has ninjas.
