I would like to preface this article you have so astutely chosen to read with a warning (maybe warning is too harsh a word, but certainly, if nothing else, a heads up).

"Are you kidding me? Pam and Jim are totally hooking up." From Kevin Malone's mouth to our ears, Pam Beesley and Jim Halpert are dating. Finally. There are few destinies that took longer to achieve. Odysseus got to Ithaca in less time than it took Jim to vocalize that simple yet heart-melting request to Pam: "Want to get dinner some time?"
