Ahhh...Those embarrassing moments.
I’m sure that many of you are like me .... I can take anything that is thrown at me, but don’t embarrass me in front of my wife.......then you’ve got a fight.
Bobo’s and Russ’ wives are like mine and I bet yours are to ...........they’re smarter then we are..........even though they pretend they’ve not..........most of the time anyway, and this comes into play as you will see.
While I was ruminating over my illustrious past.
A few ...uhhhh awkward memories surfaced, has this ever happened to you ?
One was back when I was first married and had just started in real estate. We both were employed by the same company that had 6 different locations in our area. We were hired by a branch manager, whom we found out was leaving the company and moving out of state. The company owner was in the Miami office. We started out like a fireball and made 3 sales the first week...........Ahhhh ...this was our niche. Anyway the owner called after we were there about a month and wanted us to come down for a meeting and talk.
Welllllllllllll ... as you know me, by now..............I was sure that the talk was to offer me the manager job. After all who was more qualified than me me me. The Miami office had parking in the rear of the building and the owner was standing in the doorway as we pulled in.................when I got out he said “ Boy you are the right guy at the right time†God.............I couldn’t believe it........I got the job before I even got in the door. Boy, this guy works fast................what a good judge of character he is. And then.............he said “ Cat, we just got a truck in loaded with toilet paper for all of the offices...........will you help us unload it?â€
Growl...................’umble................................’umble
We had a good chit-chat and after an hour left. As we’re driving home we discussed the incident I was telling’ legs’ my plans for the coming month and how I was going to show him VALUE and how I was the one... just then she says†watch that guy on the left†... Why do they do that?... What tha... I’m not concerned with this bozo. .. I’m talking about our future....this is important. Well she says..†who else could he pick�
You don’t think he could go for Doug ...do ya? He’s such a piece of work...he’s such a loudmouth ...lets everyone know he’s here.......Oh God! He couldn’t ...what a blowhard...I’d like to show him my ‘knucksâ€. Boy .. just 2 shots...one in the ribs to wake him up and one in the gut.. he’d drop like a rock. heh...heh. That would take the wind out of him “Cat you can’t go around hitting people“...I know....I know, but I like thinking about it. She gives me one those -up in the air...Oh God..why...why?
As you can imagine, I got the Razz for the next 2 weeks...every time I came home>>>> Behold, the great manager of toilet paper has arrived. Oh God!
....Another couple of weeks passed and then we got a call from Carl, he was one of the salesman in our office informing us that they were going to have a party tomorrow for the new manager, but he didn’t know who it was. Well’ legs’ said “look lets go out to dinner.â€
OK, I said, but I wonder who it is? It couldn’t be Carl ... no not him.†Why not†she says....because He looks like a CPA.. you know how he dresses and acts. Well, legs says. “ he always looks smart and dresses nice. Yeah, I say, he always wares that vest.... I can’t wear them because they make me sweat too much. “Hmmmmm“.... says legs. They would run over him......he’s such a mouse. I bet if I burped in front of him, he would faint. Another one those...why God...why ... came from legs.
Legs said, let me drive ...you’re too depressed now. Ok ... well as we’re driving I suggest putting on “Rockyâ€, but she says NO ... put Sample.. on ...you need to chill-out and try to be laid-back for a bit. Well, I says, I’ll take the last part of that statement...Don’t be Gross... Yeah...Yeah ... I know.
Lets go to D’Angelos and I want you to take a look at a sharp outfit I saw in Macy’s while we’re there. I may get it for the party tomorrow.
Boy, dinner out on a Thursday and a new outfit...hmmmmm. I wonder if she knows something I don’t?
I bet I know..... some how she found out that it’s me and this is going to be a surprise dinner and our celebration before the party tomorrow. That’s it ....for sure.
When we arrive and Dom seats us at our usual table. Legs says†I called our order in already.†You are so organized ....†I’ve been told that before.†OK...are we getting my favorite...Chat x 2 ? Yep ,and that special wine he told us about too. Boy...it’s me...oh boy this is great...what about the Cali soup I ask? uhhh...she says well no...you know that that combo makes you gaseous..( her word for farting...I know...I know ..don’t be gross) , I don’t care, I like that soup. Then comes another one of those ...one raised eyebrow looks....would you like to stay in the guest room tonight?? Nooooooooooo.... sigh
I look up at Dom and he’s got that raised eyebrow look ...How do they do that? (I have tried my best and can only wrinkle my nose. I did learn to wiggle my ears when I was 9..( it doesn‘t have the same effect some how ) wait a minute .. I got it...it’s in the genes. Only wives and head waiters can do that. Forget the soup Dom.. he gives me a nod and a small smile......I made the right decision.
When did you talk to Blake I said...What makes you think I talked to him? Come on....this dinner ...the new outfit....Blake told you who it is. Yes, he called me earlier today...........well see...I told you I was the best man for the job. Legs ..puts her hand on mine and says....you are the best man, but he didn’t pick a man
What...whata ya mean? He picked an alien? Noooooooooo she says. Why are husbands the last to know? Let’s toast to the new manager she says. What did he tell you? Just that I am highly organized and project “ quiet authority “. What the hell is that? Well, you know like George Washington.....he projected “ quiet authority†You ,dear, are like Patton......not quiet.
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa........’umble...............................’umble.
But, what’s in it for me I say.... Legs says don’t you worry, since you didn‘t have the calli .........Yours is coming later tonight when we get home. Hmmmmmmmmmmm this is going to be Ok, I think.
I bet some of you have a good story..............want to share??
Lesson learned: NONE..............it was just an anomaly..............wasn’t it? :huh2:
