Union Jane goes on a date

Editor's Note: Birds of a feather flock together...or, in this case, together in spirit but on separate continents probably for the best lest they get in copious amounts of legal, moral and ethical trouble. That being said, here's post #4 from UK correspondent Union Jane.

So this lovely young gentleman took me for drinks the other day. On top of being nice and interested in me – something that can be difficult at the best of times – he has a lucrative career and dimples you could park a Cadillac in. Naturally, I was immediately smitten. He also seemed incredibly intelligent – until we had this conversation:

Dimples: My family is pretty great, but my parents seem to favour me over my sister. It's hard because Jane and I are just so different.

Me: Oh, your sister's name is Jane, too?

Dimples: Yeah. Why, is your sister named Jane?

Damn. I guess you can't win 'em all.
