I think most of you guys are still single and don't know what real grumbling and complaining is all about! Go get married! After 10,000 arguments about taking out the garbage, cleaning up your junk, "what's more important, trains or your family", etc, you'll want to take your auto-everything SLR with 21-600mm AF f1.2 APO lens and hit yourself over the head with it.
