I like the photograph that shows two guys finding their match in the workplace. I can see how it might be a handy device for people who spend too much time at work to be able to find a date.

Wouldn't it have been a hoot to send one of those ads to whatever big tough Texas politician it was that Molly Ivins, recounting a trip the guy had taken to San Francisco in one of her incomparable yarns about Texas politics, said had worn shower caps on his feet when he was in the shower so that he wouldn't catch AIDS?

Some of us seem to have a natural ability.

Heh, there are some people like that in the Bay Area.

Fortunately, they're very few in number, and they tend to the the object of scorn, even among colleagues.

Well, yeah, being a complete idiot tends to have that effect.
