Our bachelor of the day today was Jeff. Jeff had impressed the committee with his intelligence and wit in e-mail/profile and with his profile name, which was taken from the movie “Mystery Men.” In person, Jeff was not funny. In fact the jokes he made were painful, and his laugh was annoying. Other than that he was nice; normal conversation was quite pleasant. He has two cats and seems to be the right sort when it comes to animals.
And then he’d make a joke and laugh and extend the joke and laugh and I’d try to laugh while looking away because you just can’t look someone in the eye when they’re doing that. And I couldn’t keep up the forced laughter as long as his extended laughing.
He did pay. No one else has done that yet. Perhaps there is friendship to be had. (He's an economic anthropologist or something, a fellow at Cornell for the year. Goes to Africa a lot for field work.)
