BRC, I would normally defer to you in all matters of etiquette, but breakup-by-letter? Never, never put anything in writing that could come back to haunt you. A nice, neutral, friendly goodbye? "Look [as it's shown to all the dumpee's friends], em's a callous soulless emotionless bastard!" A gentle explanation of the reasons? "Look [as it's shown to all the dumpee's friends], like em's such a goddamn prize?[listing of all em's deeply embarrassing personal flaws to total strangers ensues]"

Give me the spine-cringing scene. At least it's over and there's no record afterwards.

If it's a man's only test, the guy must have had a seriously tight asshole to need painkillers, and therefore probably deserved the dumping. (not to say it feels great, except to Humpty Hump. although I like to think I bring pleasure to at least 5% of the male population.)

Once you get past me, women need the exams too. Ask Katie Couric.

There's no way I can get my binder clips open that far...

Why does anyone need a reason to nuke Long Island or any other part of NY?

My Inner Timmy is still excited about this one. Pardon me while I run for some towels.

She left him at his home, and then, apparently, called his cell phone, and left him a message dumping him.

Can you imagine? Who in the hell does something like that?
Having him drugged up and walking funny cuts down on the "running back to you" part, I guess... Pretty cold though. Worse would have been leaving a haiku:

I am dumping you
Suggest you don't take date to
Colonoscopy

Isn't a lot of that likely explained by the ethnic/national extraction of the population in various places? As well as the recentness of their immigration from countries in which nutrition is likely not to be as good? Since I don't want to generalize like Paigow, I won't be more specific, but I have observed that person of some ethnic backgrounds tend, on average, to be shorter than others. If the short ones all end up in NYC (or "the NYC"), there's one explanation.
Well, the regional variation, yes. But not why men overall are so much taller than women overall. I don't think, for instance, that the Patch has a huge surplus of 6'2" Scandinavian men but no tall women, while NYC has a huge number of 4'6" Peruvian women but no short men. I be not at all surprised that average heights in the middle states were a good 2 inches taller than on the coasts, for both men and women. I am shocked at an average 6 inch height difference over the whole country.

People in NYC are freaking midgets. The sun never hits the pavement and it makes people stunted and unhealthy. Makes me feel at home.

Lovingly edited to add that neither is synonymous with healthy either. Though perhaps if you ate more and more regularly, you wouldn't suffer so much mental impairment.
I wish dear old Sebby were here to tell you what a fat ugly troll you are. But he must be in court putting words in other people's mouths.

He did sign up for the bisexual anal tour of the Caribbean before we had the brochures changed. But to be fair, I think he has his sights set on Bilmore. Not that there is anything wrong with any of this (according to the memo).

THose big fattie clips? They are okay but the paper can still come spilling out all over the place. Plus they clip too deeply into the top of the pages. Bad for flipping. Give me a motherjumpin huge stapler any day of the week, or parse the dox into smaller stapled units bound by a rubber band.

Sweetie, I don't know how to tell you this, but I lost you in a poker game last night. Have you met my friend Mr. Petch? You know, my friend from law school?


Gus Petch?

Gus Petch, Ass-Nailer at Law?

Something tells me that he'll be a lot more affectionate than I was.

I have to go with the little colored post it flag thingies. Which are also really hard to come by in my office. They fly out of the supply closet. I have to hoard them.

And next time you get me sushi, make sure it doesn't suck.

Wow, Shifter. They're fighting over you.

Must be that whole "V", hump the alien lizard thing that I was reminded of by "I Love the 80's Strikes Back" the other night...

Either that, or it's the footlong tongue thing...
