Problem: "too many single old women"  ?  Can you have TOO many old  
women ?

A bunch of us were sitting around talking about getting the heavy  
lifting done around here, what are are going to do when all our men  
are dead and gone?  One of us remarked that it won't be long before  
the community itself is in the majority, old women. "Wow, that sounds  
fabulous" said a 30 something young woman.   Personally, I agree -- I  
don't think it sounds half bad :-).
