Had a conversation today with a lady who's recently divorced,

[PCIntern]

and it went something like this:

she: I understand from the hygienist that you set up a couple who eventually got married.

me: That's true.

she: You should do that for me.

me: OK, any requirements besides the obvious?

she: Well he has to be funny and conservative.

me: Really. OK...what brand of conservative? There are just so many these days...

she: Well, like an Arlen Specter or Rudy Giuliani conservative...I don't want someone who "wants to save the world" if you know what I mean. but I don't want a lunatic fringe guy either.

me: OK, in other words, you don't want someone who thinks that the society might work better if the poor, sick, and unfortunate were uplifted a bit. You'd rather have someone who's climbed to the top and pulled up the ladder? but you don't want a Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh type...unless they had their money! (laughs and winks a la Palin)

she: (Laughing along) Well, yes...I wouldn't quite put it that way, but sort of.

me: OK, I'll take a look around and see what I can do.

I love this bizness....where else can you poke fun at someone and completely get away with it?

1. And get paid for doing it! I'm envious....n/t

2. I'd laugh at what anyone said if they had pointy things in my mouth!

[PCIntern]

5. Yes...you'd be surprised how 'disarming' the instruments are!
