I've been dating this guy. A tasty man-snack that I will call...Thor. No, not his real name.
So when I was dog-sitting for JD, Thor came over, we went for a run and then we ordered Chinese takeout.
After dinner, we were sitting on the couch, with a cozy fire in the background, lounging with the pooches...and watching cable.
Cable Television.
CABLE!!
I do not have cable. Thor does not have cable.
Having hundreds of channels at our disposal was making us giddy.
And so we formulated a plan. Because we had a fever, and the only cure was MORE CABLE.
Thor had the next day off from work...I was willing to take a vacation day. I felt weird, calling into my office and saying, "Hey! I need to take a day off so I can sit on the couch and watch CABLE" so I instead used the tried-and-true "Food Poisoning" excuse. Vacation-wise, my company doesn't care whether I'm watching cable or "driving the porcelain bus," so I didn't feel too horrible about my little white lie...
But apparently GOD DOES.
Because the next morning when Thor arrived...well...he didn't look so good.
He'd been sick all morning. And was sick all day. And for the rest of the weekend.
Yup, you guessed it. Food Poisoning.

OMG! That is just unreal.
Oh, it was all too real.
JD's poor front lawn!
That is too funny. With that said, I agree with the Karma thing; both times I used the flat tire excuse, within a week I really did get one. Usually on my way to something important.
But isnt cable lovely!
One of the worst parts of my last breakup was that he had cable (I don't). I would sit at his house when he was gone and flip thru channels for hours.
Cable, how do I love thee? Not enough to pay $100 a month, but still I love thee.
