As I stretched out across the chesterfield I decided. I lit a match under my nail as I wondered how. I needed to get rid of this suit. It stank of cigarettes and reeked of stale office hours. I typed up a letter of resignation, slipped it into the breast pocket of my jacket and threw my suit across the back seat. I drove downtown to the office and posted my suit through the letterbox. Driving home I passed a 24 hour store and greedily parked across two bays. I gave Lynne, a cute checkout girl, a twenty for a four-pack of lager and a spade and got some loose change, a smile and her business card - she'd just passed the bar - in return. 
 
 When I got home I tried her number: no answer. I was restless, so I started digging up the garden. The hole was about three and a half cans deep when it started to collapse in on itself. I jumped back. When I peered over the edge I saw the most beautiful woman ever; I jumped down, got on one knee and proposed, and she said yes. 
 
 Looking back I'm grateful I never got through to Lynne that night. I'd never have married Jacqueline, and never have phoned Lynne up two years later asking her if she `` did divorces'', and then never have asked her a year on, less formally, if she `` did marriages''. Plus, it would have been a waste of £9.99 for the spade.
