Advice for unfaithful women

A few years ago «Second Love arrived in Spain «, a social network for infidels whose slogan read «life is short; treat yourself to a Second Love «. To justify this network, which according to them does not encourage infidelity, they look at the statistics:34% of married men and 25% of married women confess to having experienced at least one extramarital affair.

After reading this news I remembered Julia the Elder , daughter of the emperor Augustus . After the death of her first husband, her father, in gratitude for the battles won, married her to the general Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa (24 years older than her).

Gaius Julius Caesar Vipsanius, Julia the Less, Lucius Julius Caesar Vipsanius, Agrippina the Elder, and Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa Posthumus.

I never accept passengers until the cargo hold is full.
