Let's Split

Tonight at the office-supply store, among the racks of stationery and inkjet cartridges, I saw a "Divorce Made E-Z Kit." The package said the contents would help "two reasonable adults" part ways "quickly, efficiently and inexpensively." Hopefully I will never have to worry about separating from a spouse, but if it does happen I will handle it the way nature intended - by going to Tijuana.

The store also sold a "Prenuptial and Cohabitation Kit." Again, I've never needed such a thing and I suspect the kit is intended for people who have many more assets than I do. I could just see my cohabitation agreement: "Okay, if we break up you're welcome to the radio with the missing knob and the half-dead aloe vera plant. But keep your mitts off of my Replacements CDs and don't even think about touching the Felix the Cat cookie jar!"l
