OMG This is Sooooooo Funny. To Me anyway
I thought you all might enjoy this. I certainly did.Yesterday, my husband (the redneck) took the kids off my hands and took them for "a drive" with his best friend, Eric. I got some work done, which was wonderful. Joe took them at about 11am and I got to have a few hours to write AND watch a movie (Ultraviolet--good premise, lousy ending). I cooked dinner and it got later....and later. At 7pm, I get a call from a payphone in Loleta (little town in the boonies). Eric called to tell me the truck is stuck. Apparently, the boys thought four wheeling on the beach would be fun and got themselves buried.......at 1:30pm. They'd been digging out for five hours!
Oh it gets better. To get him out, we needed a four wheel drive tow truck. The nearest one? McKinleyville. (About 20 miles north of Loleta). LOL. Now, this took about 5 phone calls to discover and when I called my car insurance company, I was told it wasn't covered since he was driving "where he had no business to be driving." I was laughing my ass off.
If you spend Sunday night digging out a truck from the sand, you might be a redneck.
Michelle and I went out there to get the kids (since they hadn't eaten since breakfast) and STILL the redneck didn't want to call a tow truck. No wonder. $600 is a lot to spend for a silly mistake, but it happens. Of course, we couldn't laugh while he was belly down in the sand digging out tires, but after an hour and a half, Joe finally gave in. Two hours later, he was home.
The reason this is so funny? Watching a man struggle with his ego for over seven hours just strikes my funny bone. You know, redneck jokes, new names (Joe, the son-of-a-beach) and so on. Don't worry. Michelle and I kept it between us. A man's ego needs a lot of care and caution.
I just HAD to share with you though. Normally, Joe is such a responsible and careful guy. Seeing him do something......well, stupid, was hilarious.
Poor guy.
Question of the Day? How do you handle a man's ego (or woman's feelings)? Do you have a story to share?
Hope you enjoyed mine.
