Opposites Attract
Some people fell in love, others were bamboozled into it

Carrie Sutherland had unusual standards. A free spirit from the San Fernando Valley, Carrie wouldn't date anyone whose apartment wasn't a wreck and whose life wasn't in constant uproar. Carrie vehemently objected to Max Wheeler, a man who was abnormally well dressed, excruciatingly polite and superhumanly organized. As Carrie told Max, free spirits and stuffed shirts were like oil and water--they just didn't mix.

Which was why otherwise predictable, conventional Max came up with an alternative to romance, one that sounded outrageous even to Carrie's ears.
