Ah, Mr. Hackett. Got your message, though I was surprised to hear Ronnie Ronconcomo say, "Mr. Angst, Mr. Hackett wants you to call him for some more advice about that personal matter." Would this be more of my advice which you so readily both begged me for and totally ignored the last time, Neil? So Veronica dumped you again, didn't she? Don't say I didn't tell you so. You really should have listened to me.

(Sigh) Okay, but this is the last time I dole out guidance for free. Next time, you can go to one of the geniuses on the staff who insist despite our different last names that we're related purely based upon our identical hair styles. When it comes to women, I don't like to brag, but I'm an expert. If you're not going to trust me after my four marriages, then trust in science. In the end, no woman can be trusted. They'll always end up backstabbing you when you least expect it. Never trust them, NEVER, because they cannot help it.

It comes down to the most basic of genetics, so there's no arguing with what is fundamentally female. Humans have twenty-three pairs of chromosomes. Doesn't matter if we're talking male or female. Twenty-three - that's it, but it's the last pair of them which is the clincher: numero twenty-o-three-o.

"Why," you ask? All men do. We have to ask "why;" it's genetic. #23 is the chromosome pairing which determines gender, but so much more. Males have an X and a Y, hence we constantly question "why?" Correct, "Twin?" While the double-dealing gender has two X-chromosomes. Get a grip on the obvious. Geez, two X-chromosomes. XX. Two crosses. Could nature be more blatant in its warning? An actual "double-cross" resides inside every woman's genes. Wake up, Hackett! The double-cross falls right at the end, and that's the why it's not just Veronica, but all women - they'll always double-cross you, Neil, in the end. It's in their nature, but I suppose falling for them is just in yours.

Author's Breadcrumbs: Poor Neil. He falls so hard so quickly when it comes to academically available women. Keely knows this firsthand from when she aged herself and ended up substituting for his class. Of course, she got off easily compared to Vuh-Vuh-Veronica in episode #112 entitled "Age Before Beauty." He fell for them both in this episode … not at the same time. Veronica, then substituting "Miss Vanderhoosey," and then a quick return to Veronica. Keely took it well, though.
