786　Odds are good but the goods are odd 少的是好的，但好的是少的

A young woman was our guide on a tour of the old Gold Rush town. I'd heard how guys are the majority in that part of the country, so I asked her: “What's the ratio of men to women here?” “About one to one. But I'm told Juneau has something like ten men for every woman,” she said. “Why didn't you move there?” I said. “The odds seem so much better.” “Oh, the odds are good,” she acknowledged with a smile, “but the goods are odd.”
