Interesting, but I'm never sure what category my job falls into.

I couldn't even find my old jobs (let alone "superannuated layabout")--the list seems to be organized to make the graphic work.
As for who-marries-whom, for those of us who spent our twenties in grad school, it's pretty obvious where the marrigeable candidates came from: other grad students and a few older undergrads. And a look through my undergrad 50th-reunion list shows a number of marriages within that cohort--again, not very surprising.
Once we were out in the larger world, we noted how it became progressively harder for our unmarried women friends to find mates, especially from mid-thirties onward. Their choices narrowed to men who hadn't paired up in their twenties--a red flag--and those whose first marriages had gone south. The divorced guys, though, might have learned a lesson or two, and we observed several second marriages that lasted a long time.

Young farmers tend to marry other young farmers, which raises some awkward social issues as 99% of all young farmers are male. We don't talk about this much to outsiders. But the fact that there are fewer farmers than there used to be has nothing to do with bigger tractors.

I guess Dawn and I are a match, if I am an "Other Physical Scientist" and Dawn is a "Miscellaneous Social Services Technician"

I don't know if my wife and I are compatible since I couldn't find categories of Douche Bag and Major Babe.

Given the title, I thought this was a wedding announcement for a couple guys I met in the fourth grade, Who Ever and Whom Should. Given that they are both men, I don't know which family name they will use. I think it should be Should, but Who might object.
I always thought Who would end up with Why, the left fielder on our baseball team. But Why changed. I think it was Because tormented him. So did the Again brothers, Tomorrow and Today. Now I don't even know Why.

You said he played left field. I was just going with the Abbot and Costello theme. |
