Ahem. Is there a Whole Foods nearby? I just returned. I was presented with so many nibbles and such a nice wine sampling - a chap (if he has a lot going for him) might just get away with it - once. (And he'd better buy something) preferably flowers and/or chocolates for her!
Believe me, I know Larry, and he is a cheap date. Don't even have to take him out. Just give him some lasagna and some burnt garlic brread and he is good to go.
A few years ago on Christmas Eve my windshield wipers made a grinding noise in the middle of a cloud burst and quit. Everywhere I called was closed.
I found a junkyard that had one. I drove to the place and asked if they had my motor pulled yet. They said they gave the guy the evening off and I would have to pull it myself.
I had a white shirt, slacks and shoes on and slid out in the mud and rain to pull the motor out myself.
After I got the motor, I stopped by the office to return their tools.
I told them that I wanted to thank them for the motor and Merry Christmas and walked out without paying them. As I was leaving one of the guys said Merry Christmas you cheap a-hole.
Hey! I remember that! The blue lights were so romantic. And in Seattle, if the guy couldn't afford the gas to take you clear to the airport, like the big spenders, he would take you down to the lake to watch the submarine races.
