SHORT STORY:

You Can't Trust The

Experts

WHEN I was in America I began

to doubt the experts. A friend. fearing that her marriage was hend- Ing for the rocks. went to see an expert at the Marriage Advice Bureau,

"Ah," said the expert, "You see too much of each other. Go away for a month, have a nice holiday, and when you come back you'll fall in love with each other over nguin.** So my friend went over to stay with friends of hers in Chicato, When she got back home she discovered that her husband had run away with the mald. She went round to the Marriage Advice Bureau straight away to find out from the expert what the next step should be..

"Oh, you can't see Mr SimpsoTI," they told her. "He's gone to Renn to arrange a divorce for himself."
