Further Proof That People Who Gossip In Elevators About Other People's Marital Problems Are Idiots

Scene: Elevator in a Murray Hill High rise. Two young women are chatting.

Pretty Brunette
: (flipping through mail) Hey, look. It' a wedding invitation from my friend Meredith. She and her fiance dated for eight months before getting engaged. Isn't that crazy?

Ugly Redhead
: Eh. My brother-in-law dated his wife for eight weeks before getting engaged.

Pretty Brunette
: Wow.

Ugly Redhead: (shaking her heads) But you know, they have problems. They've been to couples therapy and everything.

Pretty Brunette
(saddened): Are they better now?

Ugly Redhead: (shrugs) I guess.

Pretty Brunette
: How long have they been together?

Ugly Redhead: 15 years.

(The elevator door opens and they get off on the 18th floor.)


And....scene.
