There's a whole lot of hanky-panky going on these days with the whole Petraeus/Broadwell scandal. Then there are the related murky dealings of Jill Kelley and her FBI friend, Jill Kelley and General John Allen, Jill Kelly and her twin sister's custody battle, and Jill Kelley's indebtedness and money problems. I think Jill Kelley is probably a lot more interesting than Patreaus and Broadwell.
Today, I read an article about the United States first sex scandal - the affair between Alexander Hamilton and Maria Reynolds. http://blog.constitutioncenter.org/2012/11/current-petraeus-affair-has-nothing-on-nation%E2%80%99s-first-sex-scandal/ So, this stuff has been going on forever.
Who would be immune to the charms of a beautiful woman? Dudley Dooright would never cheat on Nell. Dagwood Bumstead wouldn't get up off the couch to chase a skirt. On the other hand, you probably couldn't trust Dobie Gillis as far as you could throw him. Who could resist a handsome, powerful man? Ginger was a slut, and Mary Ann might have been if she just had a chance. Nancy Drew was not going to go behind Ned's back. What would Olive Oyl do?
O² was a bit fickle. Bluto might have turned her head if Popeye hadn't interceeded. Suddenly, I had to know Olive Oyl's whole story. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_Oyl She was created in 1919 by Elzie Crisler Segar for his comic strip "Thimble Theater." She was the main character for ten years until Popeye became more popular. Before she and Popeye hooked up, Olive was engaged to Harold Hamgravy. Olive came from a big family. Cole Oyl and Nana Oyl were her parents. Castor Oyl was her brother. There were more relatives:
Cylinda Oyl - Sister-in-law
Deisel Oyl and Violet Oyl - Nieces
Otto Oyl and Lubry Kent Oyl - Uncles
Sutra Oyl - Cousin
Yep, Olive Oyl's head could be turned. It's for the best that she and Popeye never married. Once, they came pretty close, though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DS584Omhzw0
