A lower-profile agent is German entrepreneur Bernd Dressler, nicknamed "the Terminator." He will dump your significant other by phone (the "Let's Stay Friends" call and the more insistent "Stay Away" cost $25 each) or in person ($63). Then there's a less human option: DumpMonkey.com For $24.95, the dumpee gets a 16-in. stuffed monkey, a certificate stating the date and time...
