    Somethings don't change, but I enjoyed the happy ending. Way to go, Algie.

    This was funny. I like how everything turned out in the end. I suspect Algie was not just happy, but rich, too from all those mining pursuits.

      I loved this. As Rita says below, full of sexist stereotypes but sweet. So funny :)
