I never knew you used to be married to Howard Stern,” says my friend.

Howard Stern? The American shock jock who specialises in really offensive comments? The man who dressed as “Fartman” for the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards in a $10,000, gold superhero costume with cut-outs to bare his buttocks? The man who said that the theme of his daughter’s batmitzvah would be “We hate Jews?” I can hardly think of a less likely ex-husband. Not, by the way, that I have an ex-husband, having been married to the same perfectly delightful man for the last 23 years.

“Errr…what are you talking about?”

“Well, I don’t usually look at those things on the internet, you know, those list things. The clickbait ones about celebrities.”
