MEEB: I heard that you let Nicole set you up on a blind date.
MDT: Yes. Her name was Maria.
MEEB: How did it go?
MDT: Its not a good sign when the transvestite with hairy arms and a moustache of Magnum like proportions at the next table looks more appealing than your date.
MEEB: That bad?
MDT: Worse.
MEEB: How could it be worse?
MDT: Everything she was wearing was from the Marge Simpson collection.
