Is there a problem here? You're not suggesting she should've remained his

paramour? In Baltimore, where I grew up, hon, you cut the lawn with a

paramour. Except for a few old guys who'd cut the lawn with a pushmour

when they weren't sitting on the porch in their undershirts drinking

National beer ...
