Girlfriend
The disciplinary panel said I could have my old job back.
I was over the moon.
They did, however, have one condition. They said that they were concerned about my single status and said that in order to present an
image appropriate to the school's values I had to get a girlfriend.
"... or preferably a wife," one of them added.
"But I've already had a wife," I protested, "and she was rubbish."
They said they were sure I could sort something out.
I phoned Roger and asked if he could give me some advice on finding a soul mate in an emergency.
"Enjoy your dole," he said, after he'd finished laughing.
