If you cheat, protect yourself from FTDs

Check out this interesting lawsuit (http://www.abovethelaw.com/2007/08/lawsuit_of_the_day_6.php) filed by a man against 1-800-FLOWERS for revealing his infidelity after they faxed his girlfriend's flower order to his wife. Whoops! Also, be sure to read some of the comments. They are pretty funny.

I liked this comment:


what a moron. Isn't a separate bank account and a PO box a basic necessity of any relationship with a mistress? Amateurs...

Sigh, sez the commentator, a little experience and panache would help Mr. Greer understand the how of having a mistress. But my favorite comments follow: the debate (long overdue in forums, I might add) over the confounding over/misuse of the term "douche" or "douchebag," and the concomitant new coinage of the spelling "doosh." Sheesh. Or, chiche?

To make it even better, this was an exhibit to his Complaint:

A dozen long-stemmed roses? The lack of imagination alone calls for a nonsuit.

At least it wasn't a potted mum?

Cheaters are nearly always such cry babies when they get caught.

When I was a kid I read about a statesman who always sent his mistress 11 flowers in any arrangement. He based the number on the number of times they had...well, you know, in one night together. Now that's cool.

Now that's cool.
Sure, when it's 11. Not so cool when it's 2 or 3.

Ooo...that is smooth. I thought you were going to say he took one flower out to give to his wife and the other eleven went to the mistress.

(This probably goes without saying but potted mums are not the kind of plant you give a love one. Especially if you needed to make up for the fact that you had left her in your car for a couple hours, in a playboy bunny outfit, in October, in a rainstorm, while you voted on a pledge class at the frat house...knowing she couldn't drive a stick. I don't care if it is after midnight in a small southern town and the only thing open is an Ingles...never, ever try to make ammends with a potted mum. They can be thrown rather far from a second story dorm room window.)

(I feel compelled to explain that the mum incident did not involve Rick in any way, shape, form or action. This was a rebound guy that I dated for almost three years before I saw the light.
Rick would have realized that all he needed to do was say something along the lines of "I'm sorry that worked out like it did-I didn't realize they were going to call a meeting. Yeah, I should have driven you back to the dorm and come right back.")

Ha! A likely story. Got any pictures to prove it?











pretty please?

I was expecting you to say that they can be thrown with pretty good accuracy. . . at the sender. You are a kind and gentle woman for merely tossing it out a window.

Um, well...I failed to say that the mum sender was trying to make amends from below the second floor window.

What would have hurt him worse was if I could have gotten a clear shot and had it land on his car...but, the parking lot was too full for the throw.

He had told me earlier that he was glad he didn't have his car on campus when we first met...he was concerned that I would have dated him for his car. (Which I took great insult over ...)

He drove a Subaru.


Young stupidity. I was certain the way to get over someone was by instantly dating someone else. Doesn't work that way at all.

Always worked for me!
