Parents think Noone shouldn’t get the money
Okay. So here’s the deal. Here is an article about a woman fighting a family to receive her husbands pension… very sad story, true. And I am a horrible person for finding comedy in the story. But it MUST be noted.
Let’s take a look at the quotes. Then I will share my thoughts.
Prior’s parents do not think his then-fiancee Doreen Noone should be entitled to half the $75,000 annual pension…
…The Priors concede that the young couple was engaged, with a wedding date set for July 12, 2002, an $8,000 ring on Noone’s finger and contracts in place for a photographer, a church and a reception.
But the parents have accused Noone of lying to the Fire Department that the pair lived together, so that she might have a better shot at winning the $37,600 annual payout from the pension board. …
…Noone is now engaged to Prior’s best friend, a police officer.
Does anyone else here see what I am getting at…?
The fiance’s name is NOONE… as in NO ONE! I am reminded of a little passage in Homer’s "The Oddyssey" (or was it the Iliad), where Odyssesus gets out of trouble with the cyclops by telling him that his name is "Nobody", or something like that.
So basically, the parents think that Noone shouldn’t get the money. and that’s NOT a double negative. HA!
And Noone is sickened by the fight. No one is. I’d be sickened by the fight.
The parents have accused Noone of lying to the Fire Department. How do you explain that on the phone. "Who lied?" "No one." " Then what’s the problem?" "SHE LIED!" "WHO??!!" "NO ONE!" It’s like Abbot and Costello.
Noone was almost married to Kevin Prior. Seems like a closed case to me. The parents get the money, cuz Kevin was never engaged. He never was even almost married.
Though if the parent’s DO concede, I suppose that means the money would go to … wait for it… NO ONE! HA!
…
It also must be noted, that KYLE notes that the man’s name was PRIOR. As in before, so we are talking about the Prior relationship, since NoOne is now engaged to someone else, the prior boyfriend’s best friend. Does your brain hurt?
