On the phone with somebody from the lawyer's office...
Woman: And who else's name will be on title?
Sars: I... What? Sorry. What was that?
Woman: The title deed... Is there anybody else's name to go on it?
Sars: Oh. No, just mine.
Woman: I see. And are you a spouse?
Sars: I'm sorry, what? No. No spouse. Just me.
Am I a spouse? Good grief! I've had plenty of people ask if I had a spouse or just assume that I must have one. But am I a spouse?
No, you ridiculous old woman; I'm a pot of tea.
"what are you, some kind of SPOUSE?"
it sounds like mouse or grouse or ...well, definitely some kind of animal.
Also your house thing is so eerily like my job thing, though for me the spouse part was better, cause I'm in Europe:
"will you be coming...uhhh with...a ...partner?"
"Nope. Just me. "
"Oh, Good. That makes everything easier."

Eesh. Some species - well, you just hope for their extinction. Personally I thought the dinos were already.

I hate it when people ask me that like it is the only thing that matters...I mean, I am only a women so of course I couldn't have any self worth unless I am married to a man....(which I am but I still hate the question).

Heh, pot of tea.
