Comeds
Unreliable Narrator.
Anyone remember the nice Tim Horton's ad where a young man is holding his food looking for a seat but the place is full and a nice family lets him sit with them? The same thing kind of happened to me today at Boston Market. I was standing with my tray hoping someone would leave so I could sit when a nice older couple told me to sit with them. They were a bit older - probably late 70s, smokier, and I'll be honest a little creepier than the TV commercial people but who am I to judge? I probably dont match up well to the commercial boy.
Anyway I sit down and we small talk about the weather. Henry had one of those voice box machines, I didnt ask if he had cancer. I just assumed. Helen was nice and kept smiling. Maybe they were not so creepy after all. Just as I took my first bite Henry leaned over and in barely a machine generated whisper said "if you let her blow you and let me watch - we'll pay for your sandwich". I was really shocked and a bit dissapointed....
Wait, Im doing it again. My wife always tells me that I tell my stories in the wrong order, that I 'bury the lead'. Let me start over.
Hey guys, I got a free sandwich today!
