The story that follows is true. Well at least I believe it true. & Ok, it's a little one sided, but some stories are....
It was the 24th, & the store where the two girls worked was busy with last minute shoppers. One might say "tardy" shoppers. Oh, I did! Yes, commercialism was alive & kicking on this day before Christmas, happy customers leaving checkout counters with well wishing words of "Merry f%#&!$g Christmas to you too!" But really, that’s another story.
As the phone rings one of our lucky ladies receives a call from her beloved husband, who as it happens, is somewhat "behind" himself. "Listen f%#&@r, you better buy me a nice present you hear - NICE!" "Honey what’s wrong? Not like you to be like that." Indeed it was not, a mild mannered & pleasant girl, such an outburst was quite out of character. "Oh that S.O.B, Still hasn’t bought me a Christmas gift." "That's ok sweetie, guys are like that, he'll get you something before the days out." "No, I've about had it with him!"
Indeed she had. In a year that brought the birth of their second child, our sackless fanatical Fly fishy dude had decided "Argentina!" That will give me a break from my patriarchal woes. & Off he went, bargaining that this would be Christmas, birthday & all those wonderful special treats rolled into one for this year. Haha, but memories are short, well some. And in the weeks running up to the holiday season, our FF decides he's now also a cyclist & needs a bike! But how can he, all his wishes for the year are spent in the distant memories of the southern hemisphere. Simple - eBay! That way when facing the music all one need do is eat humble pie for a session, but rest assured there's no returns - devious & selfish.
"Don't worry honey, he'll get you something. Any idea what it might be?" "Oh, you know, could be anything; he was calling from Wal-Mart!"
If you’re out there - you’re a tosser!
