I was sitting next to Ms. Danielle today and she was chuckling to herself about a little story her friend had sent her. I asked her “what the hell are you laughing at?” and so she sends me this:
World’s Shortest FairyTales
“Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl, “will you marry me?” The girl said “NO” and she lived happily ever after and went shopping, drank martinis with her friends, always had a clean house, never had to cook, had a closet full of shoes and purses, stayed skinny and was never farted on.
The end”
So I decided to write about what happened to the guy:
Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl “will you marry me?” The girl said “NO” and the man lived happily ever after and went golfing, always held the remote control, ate bacon and eggs every morning, owned a flat screen in every room of his house, never watched the oscars or figure skating, stayed out late, never went bald, never used Viagra, never had a heart attack and never had to buy tampons from the supermarket.
The End

Singlehood can be great.
Ha. Sounds like an Aesop Fable, or at least one of those Fractured Fairy Tales from “Rocky and Bullwinkle”
Well there is a Turkish proverb for this. I hope i translate it correctly:)
Single is the sultan!
Being single can be great, but boring. The best thing is to have a girlfriend a town or 2 over so you can always have a buffer zone of 30 minutes or so
Nicely written Gary..have ya sent your side to Ms. Danielle??
Jason trust me its not great, but its not so bad too:)
Gare, you forgot to include the title of the story in the introduction: “World’s Shortest Fairytale.”
Thanks, Phoebe! LOL
30 years after she said no they met at a bowling alley and shared a quart of coke. As their eyes met over the cheesy nachos love was rekindled, but as they moved towards each to for their first ever kiss his oxygen cylinder fell over and caught the the valve on her colostomy bag.
Their joint funeral was attended by 2 nurses and a dog walker.
Moral:
LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED (and a flat screen of course.)
Postscript:
MEN: To achieve true love all you need are the magic words - “YES DEAR.”
Oh it is great. That is my current situation. Close enough for planned visits, but too far for the dreaded ‘drop by’. Plus we have 2 different sets of bars/clubs to go to
This was really cute and inspiring. Especially since I hate being farted on!
owned a flat screen in every room of his house,
never watched the oscars or figure skating
These two are the most significant. Good going!
LoL, that’s the future I’m trying to escape from!
