Foiled
Again
Four Bachelor
Gentleman discuss a prior encounter with a mutual acquaintance
Mr. X: “You should have seen him last night!
First he wakes me up out of bed and makes
us come to
his house for dinner.”
Mr.
Y: “Begs us.”
Mr.
X: “Then he
expects us to sit on the porch, when it’s freezing out!”
Mr.
Y “We had to
borrow sweaters and jackets!”
Mr.
X: “He says he’s going to stir-fry, but he doesn’t make it, and he doesn’t make
it, and we get hungrier and hungrier.”
Mr.
Y: “We were starving.”
Mr.
X: “Then finally he orders in. ”
Mr.
Y: “We had to insist.”
Mr.
X: “Then he
spills the whole bottle of champagne I brought!”
Mr.
Y: “Onto the movie I brought
to watch! We finally left when he broke that champagne glass!”
Mr.
X “Oh, and it
was a priceless moment. He had just gotten done telling us how expensive and
nice a set of glasses they were, and how he had only four left, and he couldn’t
possibly replace them.”
Mr.
Y: “Then
Blam! He knocks it with his elbow and it goes crashing!”
(All laugh wickedly)
Monsieur
P: “Well, it sounds like he wanted you to leave.”
Monsieur
Q: “Sure! First he puts you out in the cold.”
Monsieur
P: “ Well the cold didn’t work! I know, I’ll just
not feed them.”
Monsieur
Q: “Damn, I was sure that would work! I’ve got it! I’ll spill
the champagne!”
Monsieur
P: “Drats! They still won’t leave! I didn’t want to do this,
but I’m going to have to break a champagne glass!”
Monsieur
Q: “But first I’ll tell the story of how it’s so
expensive and rare…”
Monsieur
P: “And if that doesn’t work, I don’t know what!”
(All laugh wickedly)
Monsieur
P: “You
really should have taken the hint, and just left.”
Monsieur
Q: You’re
lucky; you might have got an axe through the head, behaving like that.”
Mr.
X: “Oh
I knew what he was up to all along, but I wasn’t leaving! He got me out of
bed!”
