Marry the Rich and Ditch

Let's boil it down:

1. He's like a cat-encumbered, recycled-fabric-wrapped old woman on the brink of dotage, which sounds like dot Net's aftermath.

2. She's maxed out on marry-ugly-but-rich, having gotten fat, bitchier, and, after Mrs. Bezos's bailing, prone to impatient watch-gazing.

3. Their litter didn't produce any tycoons, Einsteins, or contagious family warmth.

4. Apparently out of a sense of duty (read: avoiding minors/money legal entanglements), the marriage was prolonged just long enough to see the offspring to the threshold of adulthood.

Finally, let's make the connection so far unstated, by asking: Why is Calibri coincidentally being replaced just now?

"The Enquirer" math:

1. "Calibri" was imposed in 2007, as a sudden, unnecessary, crap replacement for Times New Roman.

2. Why that odd name? "Calibri" = "Cr" + "alibi"...a shortening of "crap alibi." Bill's penance and reminder of an indiscretion.

3. Now that the duo is splitting, "Calibri" is just as quickly going away.

You're welcome.
