Are you familiar with the sport Shag, Marry, Kill? Three candidates — customarily people, though the rules don’t dictate it — must be shuffled into one of the three lanes, no overlap permitted. The more alike the nominees, the harder the distinction, the more fun is had. Oh, you get it. You probably think you invented it, you minx.
Anyway, my pal (and esteemed colleague) Clare Finney recently advanced the idea that were people to apply the form to everyday situations — shopping for shoes, say, or picking a movie — they might more easily decipher what they truly want, which either makes her an organisational genius or a kind of perverted Marie Kondo, depending on how you look at it. But come on, can you think of a better way to land on somewhere to lunch?
