Making my point...at highway speeds

On my way to work this morning I got stuck behind a dude in a BMW driving significantly under the speed limit.  Frustrated, I passed him and literally yelled, "You're an embarrassment to German engineering!" as I drove by at break-neck speed. 

And I meant it.

Wedding Planning Brain Teaser

This quiz will be one question, multiple choice.  There is only one correct answer.


1. If Fiance A convinces Fiance B to close his personal bank account and redistribute all funds and redirect all direct deposits to the new, joint bank account, which of the following is the most likely outcome:


A. Fiance B does exactly as he is told, with ease, and they live happily ever after.


B. Fiance B refuses to do as he is told, citing a "need to be me", and leaves all financial arrangements just as they are.  Divorce eventually ensues.


C. Fiance B attempts to do as he's told, however he also tries to quietly divert a small amount of each paycheck into an account that only he can access because sometimes there are things that need to be bought without Fiance A's knowledge.  While the changes are being made to the direct deposit settings, the computer system at work first advises that only one account can have the amount set to 'balance' and then advises at least one account has to have the amount set to 'balance'.  Accounts can only be edited one at a time, so at no point can the new account be set to 'balance' without both or neither account being set to 'balance' temporarily.  In frustration, Fiance B deletes both accounts in an effort to start from scratch, and is then advised by the computer system, "You are not allowed to add any direct deposit entries today.  Try again tomorrow."
