maxim, a sales manager and no wedding ring...

... is what Mary and I first noticed as we interviewed a sales manager at a certain auto dealership in the south suburbs today. It was part of our assignment on the horrible economy.

Unknowingly, we both found it ridiculously funny.

"Did you see the Maxim under his desk..." we said in unison while crossing the street back to the lot where our cars were parked.

The manager bore a resemblance to Nicholas Cage, but just slightly and at a certain angle.
In his office, a Maxim magazine featuring "the HOTTEST Bond girl ever," was in plain view.
He was probably in his late 40s and spoke of his son, but he didn't wear a wedding ring.

I love irony.

I asked her if she thought guys noticed wedding rings as much as girls do.

We thought probably not.

We thoroughly enjoyed a good laugh, which is just what we needed at the end of a day of interviews.

And in case you were wondering... yes, the economy does suck.
