AUBREEVISION - Observations from the far side of the dial

Happy day! I am once again gainfully employed. Last night's interview - albeit non-traditional - was a success. We started at a wine bar, but the noise level forced us to Starbucks. Once there Beverly and Claire, my new bosses, gave me the grilling. It was more of a formality than a real interview, since I was there on sarsar's recommendation; to give an idea, Claire glanced at my resume, whooped with laughter and howled "Would you look at the shit they put on resumes these days!" They're a couple of rowdy Brits with quite a vision for the gym, including mom & baby classes, joint programs with the local running store and a "slimming support group." All in all, I'm quite looking forward to starting there next week, and in the meantime they're paying me to write a promotional brochure. Whoop whoop!

Yesterday I heard the stupidest question on a local TV news show. They had a lawyer on hand to take call-in questions and someone posed this royal stunner:

"I left my wife in 1991 and we didn't go through any legal stuff, just went our separate ways. Can I just get married again or do I have to do anything first?"

Sweet lord above, I couldn't believe my poor ears. The lawyer of course went on to explain that yes, bigamy is illegal in Canada. Sheesh...
