I have my settings set to 30 posts per page, so I'm seeing only 10 pages of drivel. So let me add my own without having to read all 10 pages......
True story:
I met a girl once through a mutual friend. Actually not true at all. The wife of a guy I knew, but didn't particularly get along with in high school, were on the corner of a local bar, when after several shots of tequila, started discussing a friend of hers that would be "perfect" for me. She was about to give me the girl's phone number when I said no, out of being old-fashioned and said, let me give you my number to give to her. Well, a few weeks passed with no call and I completely forgot about that drunken conversation only to meet this same wife-of-a-friend at the same corner of the same bar one weekend night.
As fortune would have it, this "perfect" friend of the wife-of-a-friend was also in the bar that night back in the pool room. Now I hadn't shot a game of billiards in 30 years, but I was pretty damn good at it in my youth. The cue was a typical wonky coin operated table type of cue.... could run true if it had to. The four of us decided to have a game of doubles. Did I mention that the wife-of-a-friend wasn't paired up with her husband? No? Just another 23 year old buck she fancied while the guy I knew but didn't particularly get along with from high school, sat on the corner of the bar drinking shots of Royal Flush (terrible waste of good Canadian whiskey). Anyway, I ran the rack and within 15 minutes this "perfect" girl and I decided the best medicine was to grab a room at the nearest hotel for the night.
I won't go into detail, but the next several hours were filled with carnal knowledge. Eventually, we passed out in the wee hours of the morning only to wake when the cock begins to crow and begin it all over again. Now this is the funny part because I had never had this happen to me in the past 50 years. As we were gathering ourselves to make a hasty retreat that morning, she looks at me and said, "What was your name?" I nearly sh!t myself laughing.
So I take her to her car in the parking lot of the bar we were at the night before and she says she left her keys with the wife-of-a-friend, but it turned out that she had recently had a DUI and was on a suspended license. Then as we were departing she says that she will be away for the next three weeks without any hopes of contacting her. Simply put, this was a blow-off in my mind. Three weeks later she calls me to set up another date. Well, in the meantime I had already made plans to be out of town that particular weekend and asked if Sunday would be okay. Sunday rolls around after three days of debauchery and I called to cancel. Needless to say, she was not a happy camper and hung up on me. I called back to apologize and re-confirmed my commitment.
Four years later of an exclusive relationship, I asked her to marry me. She said yes and
the diamond solidified the agreement. We were looking at beach front properties this past week. Much like Forrest Gump said..... It happens, sometimes.

Sorry Mish, I couldn't delete the previous post and wanted to continue the story........
