then came a knock on the door which was odd and the picture abruptly changed

[a quick and dirty story from circa 1989]

so a friend and i were walking around shepard mall one day after school and happen to run into her sister and a guy who i understood was her fiance. so they sit there talking for a bit and then ask us if we care to join them for dinner. like we had anything better to do. i believe it was a friday's we ate at.at least we weren't celebrating a wedding engagement there. narf! the table was covered in paper and somehow we got a hold of some crayons. they might have already been on the table.

so as we are sitting there talking we all start drawing these immature and vulgar pictures on the table. for instance someone had drawn a big penis then i dripped milkshake at the end of it to simulate ejeculation. i was in still in high school so what do expect. and while we were sitting there my friends sister told one of those jokes that has stayed with me over the years. it's an old joke but i still think it's funny that i heard it from a female of the species. "never trust a woman...or anything else that bleeds for a week and doesn't die." most of the conversation was along those lines.

some time later i heard a rumor that the staff had posted our little picture up in the kitchen. never was able to verify this but i have it on good authority that it did actually happen. i lost contact with that particular friend a short time later. came across her again when we were both working for the same company. i used to think about asking her out but i knew i wasn't her type. so i never gave it that much thought. i do hope she is happy though. i never expected to her anything from her sister again but sometime life throughs you a curve now and then, and sometimes you really dig it when it does.
