A gentleman who was courting a lady finally summoned up sufficient courage to ask if his efforts were agreeable to her, and whether he might flatter himself with a chance of ultimate success. The lady replied,
“Stripes!” telling the gentleman to transpose the letters so as to form out of them another word, which would be her answer. Those of you who can figure out the word won’t ever need to worry about being perplexed by your significant other; however, those who cannot figure this out must either persist until you overcome the difficulty or may give up all thoughts of wooing!

I thought about this off and on for 2-3 days, and came up with nothing. If only I had thought about what I was doing for those 2-3 days…
Well I certainly feel like a goober head.
