Fifty Shades of Carrots

Rainy Saturday night, working on laptop in front of television, reception limited to two stations, so I watch Fifty Shades of Grey. Here's what I learned:
If you get blind drunk and vomit on his feet, a billionaire will hold your hair as you upchuck and become wildly attracted to you.The morning after, even though you have not brushed your teeth or had a shower, he will desperately want to kiss you.Then he'll buy you a new car.I see now where I've been going wrong.
