A big tree in a small pot is terribly wrong,
It's not right, its much too tight nearly bad as Big Al in a little thong.

OK... funny thing happened on the way to the forum.
I'm at Target with my wife. Were looking for something to buy the neighbor girl for a birthday present. We split up like we always do, she shops and I look thru the music DVD's for something I haven't seen 100 times and look over all the digital camera's I wish I had. We meet up an hour later and get ready to check out. I have an arm load of stuff, a DVD of the music festival "Crossroads", a bag of chocolate covered cookie in the middle Hershey Kisses, a bag of Starburst fruit chews and a pink thong. I can tell you this, normaly my wife would throw out the two bags of candy and tell me that I am too fat to be eating this crap. But... you throw a pink thong in the cart and it throws her brain into scramble mode. I could have probably gotten away with a new digital camera that I was looking at and she would have noticed only the thong. About this time she asks, "what in the hell I'm going to do with that. You better not be buying that for me" About this time I tell her its for a little thing I'm doing at the internet site. I get one of those looks. (More about that later) We head for the checkout stand. As we are filling the stand with our items for purchase, my wife refuses to touch "it". I place the thong on the stand like nothing is going on. Now I'm 51 and my wife is older than me. The nice lady is checking the things and placeing them into the bags, Most of the stuff seems pretty normal for a couple older shoppers till she gets to "it". The nice lady turns to my wife and says "the undies too". Now about this time my wife glares at me and I have that look, you know like I could bust out any second. My wife is stuck, surely she would get a more weird look by saying, "yes there for him" so she just says yes and the lady gives me a look and a small wink. About this time I get the look for the second time. You know the look guys. It's the one you get about Tuesday when your wife asks you if you have taken a check, I'm missing a check, no. 6789. You have to fess up and say yes you snatched it over the weekend. She asks you if she can have the amount to fill in the check book. You flinch and say $463.74 at Acme Bonsai. About then you get the look. Thats the one I am talking about. All was not lost though, My wife has a pretty good sense of humor. She did ask me to model it when we got home. She also asked me to never put it on while she is at home again. I guess it did not have the image she was hopeing for. She likes Orlando Bloom, I think I look pretty much the same but she disagreed. Oh well.. thats the saga of the thong. Talk later, Al

So I have to ask Al, if that was not a "virt", did your wife take the photo!
or was that the present for the neighbour? Still laughing. Yes, I too know the missing cheque (check) stub amount look I started my own little Bonsai slush fund out of odd savings to avoid the hassle. Best wishes, Ian. |

Uh 'scuse me, but Al, do you have some kind of death wish? There are easier and less painful ways to kill yourself than taunting the spouse while buying feminine undies at the mall...
On a saner note, Target has good chocolated covered crap doesn't? My favorites, however, are the gummy bull terriers (AKA Target Dog Gummies)--I buys several bags of those every time I go in the place. My real-life, non- fructose-based bull terrier at home loves them too and has become a practicing cannibal . |
