The Craziest Date

Miles Kutziner was working on a Media/PR campaign for Innova Shoes, a brand new shoe manufacturer. Miles thought the company was extraordinary, and he honestly thought Innova could become dominant in their category of leisure shoes.

What was really cool was the Nanotechnology that was part of the shoes. Data could be extracted that showed movement, and distance traveled.

After they hung up Miles thought about the Jewish women he’d met who wanted to fix him up with their daughters and nieces. He always felt flattered and followed up on their requests, but so far there hadn’t been any real connections.

When he called Sandra, her response was tepid. ‘’Yeah, Hi Miles, My Aunt said wonderful things about you. I’m about to go into my aerobics class. Why don’t we meet for a drink tomorrow night at eight-thirty at Earl’s Tin Palace? I’m five…
