There are two comedic stories about a woman anxious to get her thirty year old son married. There are two murder mysteries. There is one about a man advertising to meet a woman and comes across his ex-wife, one about a woman complaining about her husband who has just left her--to go live with his sister--, and another about a man found watching pornographic movies right after the funeral of his wife.
