I'm a pimp on skis - meaning I got all three and put zero effort into any of it. :D

In all honesty - the second to last option would be the honest answer. The perfect job would allow me the financial resources to buy the perfect skis and the time to spend with the perfect woman - preferably skiing or at a show.

i am abstaining from the voting since i believe perfection is it's own imperfection. in a catch 22, perfection can no longer be improved upon which makes perfection imperfect in my opinion. not to mention i don't believe there is a perfect ski, woman, or job but rather so many out there that make a good fit for us. now let me really wax philosophical... :lol:

You're too deep for me. :D I do agree though, you can be happy with alot of different skis, women and jobs.

I really like my skis.

None of the above:
  • - Not good enough to appreciate the perfect ski, even if it exists
    - Don't want the perfect woman, I just want a soulmate and best friend -- I've had that for over 20 years now...
    - Don't want the perfect job, just one I look forward to going to that pays well enough for me to do the things I enjoy (including skiing :D)

I think I believe in most of this, but I still voted for "I don't like effort" because I am pretty lazy... :)

I found the perfect woman about 8 years ago. I was stuggling trying to find a job that I truely loved. Two years ago I left the Manhattan Corporate world to try teaching high school. Best decision I've ever made.

Very happy with my spouse (now of 15 years)

Delighted with my job. (No, I'm not paid to be on skis, but I love the job and the fact that I have days off during the week to ski!)

I'm always looking for skis. The only thing I put more effort into is looking for time to ski and people to ski with!
