Improper Attire
Sue Billy from Corpus Christi (a beach town) had been playing beach volley ball since she was eight, and she wanted more than anything to be on the US team for the London Olympics, but her physique, though fit, toned and muscular, didn’t lend itself to wearing a bikini. When she showed up for tryouts, she was told her outfit was improper attire. . . . . David, Sf.G.
No WiFi
Julius had made a quick stop to check his bank balance and pay a few bills, but in spite of the sign out front, there was no WiFi; in fact, seating was quite limited . . . . David, Sf.G.
No Gym Membership
Guy (he insisted it be pronounced “gee”) was losing a constant battle, but he was trying to keep in shape. His girlfriend had suggested a gym membership; he didn’t want to look cheap and tell her he couldn’t afford it. He was pretty sure that if he ran three miles a day, did 50 pull ups, 100 push ups, and a few crunches, he’d be ok. . . . . David, Sf.G.
Size Matters
Jamie (pictured, on left) knew she was just a big ol’ country gal, and to find somebody suitable, she had used
one of the on-line dating services. When she first met Howard (pictured, right) she did a quick mental
calculation and figured that to get the height he claimed, he had to stand on tiptoes and stretch as tall as he
could, and he still may have been exaggerating a bit. Still, he was considerate and very gentlemanly. Maybe
if she just left the Jimmy Choo four inch heels at home. . . . . David, Sf.G.
Eviction Problems
The bank had seen a disturbing trend; before leaving their homes when evicted, the upside-down mortgagees took everything that wasn’t nailed down–and quite a few things that were–and sold them on Craigslist, leaving the bank’s collateral nothing but a shell. Perhaps, they thought in retrospect, they should have been a little more careful whom they had provided mortgages for. Gastropods and mollusks had been particularly troublesome . . . . David, Sf.G.
