The other night, at the place where I work, while I was doing things the way they should be done, a customer walked by the window. And, following the example of our fearless leader, and the recommendation of the employee handbook, I spoke UP and said, “Hi. How are you? and Can I help you?”
He said, “Well, I’m about to be $30,000 lighter here in a few minutes.”
We kinda like it when that happens.
I replied, “Oh, you getting something new?”
He quickly said, “No, my wife is. She’s in the restroom.” (TMI)
“Great”, I said, “how long have you two been married?”
His reply was, “Married? or Together?”
I shrugged.
He told me they had been married for 43 years, but had been an item for 51.
They met in the 10th grade.
He said, that he was in home room in Wilmington, Deleware, where his father and her father worked for DuPont.
She was new to the school, had just transferred in from the Catholic Girls School, and came into home room with two other girls, whom he knew.
He went on to say, “I asked a buddy, who she was, and he told me not to bother, she was dating someone else.”
Then he added, “I knew new I could f’n nail that!”
Apparently, he did!
When she came out of the restroom, she said, “What are you talking about?”
“I’m just telling him how we met.”, he replied with a huge grin.
I’ve never seen a woman slug a man so hard in the shoulder!
Ah, romance! Chivalry! True Love Ways!
