Top ten reasons why I would love to sit next to Dick Van Dyke on an airplane:
10. His hair is still as luscious and thick as it was in his Mary Tyler Moore days.
9. Of all the suave and smooth guys I can think of, Dick is at the top of that particular list. Even surpassing William Shatner and Ryan Seacrest.
8. One time when I was watching “The Dick Van Dyke Show” with my mom I told her, “I want him to marry me.” We would sit on the plane, discussing politics, dancing, his career, my “career,” and two people would fall in love that day.
7. I imagine Dick to smell like freshly cut grass and sweat and cedar mulch and a simmering Crock-Pot of beef stew. All my favorite scents.
6. After a round of Blood Mary’s, Dick and I would open up Skymall Magazine and joke about how ridiculous the crouching Buddha side table is among other items in the magazine, only to realize that we both have a desire to purchase the robot that opens your mail.
5. Dick is said to be one of the Sexiest Men alive (in 1975), so . . . that’s a good reason.
4. Dick would inevitably ask for my number and/or e-mail depending on if he knows what that is and we would forever be connected like that married couple who decided to get their left fingers surgically attached instead of exchanging rings.
3. Dick is still receiving royalties from Nick at Nite for his show. I ain’t sayin’ I’m a gold digger. But . . . teehee.
2. After moving into a large yet classily understated mansion in Beverly Hills following our intimate wedding in Seychelles, we would agree to have two kids. Dick would jokingly refer to me as his “new Stepford wife.” I would laugh and we would embrace in a passionate and romantic hug.
