Lucky SOB
"Nice house", I commented as a friend of mine was leading me a tour at his new house a few weeks later after his wedding day. "I know", he was perversely proud. "My parents bought it for me and my wife as a wedding gift. The new car outside is a wedding gift too from them." "Lucky SOB...", I soliloquized spontaneously. "What?" "Oh, I was saying it's really great..." "It was my mother who introduced my wife to me." "Speaking of luck!" "I know..." Having left his house, I went home chanting prayers for the dead. |
