Hmm, good point. Well Colonel? |
All right, I'll step up.
How I met my wife.
After work, my boss Rick and I went out for drinks and dinner after an extremely frustrating day. Only I was pissed off at him for not backing my proposals and I let him have it (over several shots of lagavulen - helps big time when a Major is telling a 1 star he's an idiot). This beautiful blond besides us with her friends kept looking over and Rick kept apologizing.
When our table was ready, Rick had enough of me and decided to go home. My response is "well at least I have your lobster."
My wife turned around and said, "the least you can do is to offer me his lobster. I had to listen you ***** for an hour and a half." Well, I was stunned. What else can an officer (it takes more than act of Parliment to make a gentleman) do but to yield to such a beautiful suggestion.
I think she was shocked that I actually took her up on it. Only I think we both had a bit too much to drink (not being drunk but damned hungry) and I asked her, was she still hungry and she was being coyed, saying that she would do fine on the bread and side dishes. I just waved to the waitress to order another 2 lobsters.
After dinner, the effects of alcohol and a bad day was dragging me down. So, I put her in a cab, pay the fare without asking her for her number and address. Just told the cabbie to take her where she wants to go.
Two days later, she tracked me down (she read the name tags) and asked me out.
