What to look for in a Spouse ...advice from "the pea"...

A number of years ago I advised my Sons' what to look for in a Spouse.
One of the things I mentioned (an important one) was that any potential Spouse should have a Vertical Leap of at least 12 inches.
Now, Sam's Spouse Kelly, jumped only 11.11 inches, but she went on to complete a Half Marathon in New Orleans! So, she was GOLDEN!
Jason, on the other hand, is still searching for that Leaper, and is considering Lowering the Bar to 11 .8 inches!
Do you think that's a good idea?
Do you think YOU can jump 12 inches from a standing start ?
PS...thank goodness they don't listen to my advice...

My nickname in High School was "Spaceman". Surely that was a testament to my ability to "SOAR" out of sight. For omparison "SLIM" had a nickname of "LandLubber". Get the point???

My sister in law was a high jumper in college. I'm quite sure she would meet your requirements!

Hey, Becklets... If your sister in law is single we have a brother named John who is in the market for a date. Unfortunately, he never could jump.

My sister was a bail jumper; does that count?


Slim was NEVER afraid to soar with the eagles baby. Where the air is rare was my motto. Now Billy the Z, there's another story.
