Marriage Proposal
December 1, 1996 |
I am nuts about Miss Sue Scott (especially when she does her "teenager" voice), and I would like to marry her. If I were to ask Miss Scott for her hand in marriage, would I first have to clear it with you? Would she consider relocating to upstate New York?
Sincerely,
S. K.
Professor, Cornell
Sue Scott is an adult, so you wouldn't need to clear your marriage proposal with me, but you might need to clear it with the bearded guy whom I often see waiting for her backstage after the show. I don't know anything about her personal life, but I know what I see, and he's usually there afterwards.
