I'm still confused as to why you need to take 2.

You don't need to unless someone refuses to buy a gift and just wants to get one.

We have 5 people at work doing a SS, and no one had 2 people.

Best I can do on short notice with work being nuts and all.

Montreal Interviewer: "What do you have in common with each other?"

Peachey: "We're REALLY weird."

Montreal Interviewer (incredulously to me): "Do you agree with that?"

<I think back to several days before the interview. Driving through the country, passing a field with cows...>

Peachey: "MOOOO! MOOOOO! Does this make me weird?"

Me: "No, well yes. Here, let me roll down the windows so they can hear you better!"

Peachey: "MOOOOO!!!!"

<back to interview>

Me: "Yes, yes I do."
