Great Moments In Entrepreneurialism: Refer A Friend At Hoyt-Schermerorn!
Today the Mister and I concluded his parent’s visit to our fair city with a sojourn to Atlantic Antic. To this end we took the almighty Crosstown Local to Hoyt Schermerhorn. Immediately upon exiting the station we stumbled upon this.
Mister Heather, being the detail-oriented person is, explained the vagaries New York State’s divorce law for my in law’s edification. Among them:
- It is a joint property state, e.g.; all assets will be divided equally. My net worth is zero. This makes for an easy division: zero divided by 2 equals zero.
- I will be entitled to alimony.
Amy Vanderbilt might disagree with me on this one but: I suspect the Mister extolling upon how one gets divorced in New York…
- blocks away from where we were married
- during a family outing
might constitute a breach of etiquette. Or, in my laywoman’s opinion, a colossal party foul. This is not to suggest I didn’t find it amusing: I did. This is in large part why I married the Mister in the first place!*
The previous having been written:
- On the one hand: there is a part of me which is thoroughly revolted by this advertisement.
- On the other: I really want to see this campaign taken to its logical conclusion. Frequent customer punch cards a la Starbucks.
Miss Heather
*And, well, health insurance.
P.S.: This post goes out to Ma and Pa-in-law. I really enjoyed your visit!

Hi Miss Heather,
Thanks for the post. We really enjoyed our visit with you and Mr. Heather. It was so nice to have time with the two of you. I especially enjoyed watching you search for blog ideas. Thanks for the great time. (We are now plotting how to catnap a certain cat, however, bro-in-law is trying to beat us at our own game.)
Tell me what you're thinking...
