Happy Old Year

I tried to come up with a funny ditty from the past so I did some back reading on my favorite blog reads...One that really stood out in my mind was one from Greg Beck who unfortunately passed before his time...This reminds me of myself who used to love to have the big bow on my party dress tied perfectly! My father was the only person I would let tie that bow and I'll bet he regrets taking charge of that task! It had to be perfect!

So, here's to you Dad and Greg!

Tie the Knot

Saturday, February 1

I get off work on Thursday and head to the bus stop. Standing at the stop is this cat that by every indication is mentally handicapped in some sort of manner. He walks up to me and after getting closer then I normally like he asks me in this nasal monotone what time will the bus show up. I tell the cat it should be in a few minutes and he informs me that it was seven and a half minutes late. And here’s how the rest of the conversation went.

Me, “buses run late sometime”.
Him, “why”?
Me, “maybe the traffic held it up”.
Him, “why”?
Me, “its rush hour and all that”.
Him, “why”?
Me, “things happen like that”.
Him, “why”?
Him, “tie my knot”.
Me, “what”?
Him, “tie my knot”
Me, “what”?
Him, “tie my knot”.
Me, “what knot”?
Him, “on my coat”.
Me, “why”?
Him, “tie my knot”.
Him, “tie my knot”.
Him, “tie my knot”.
Him, “tie my knot”.
Me, “ok”.
Him, “tie my knot”.
Him, “tie my knot”.
Him, “tie my knot”.
Him, “tie my knot tight”.
Me, “I’m trying”.
Him, “can’t you tie a knot”?
Me, “its kind of hard from this side”.
Him, “tie my knot”.
Him, “tie my knot”

As I tied his fucking knot the shitting bus pulled up and as I look up from the knot to the bus I see everybody on the bus staring at me, cause there I am bent over in front of this cat fumbling with the drawstring on his coat, which is near his waist.

Him, “tie my knot”.
Him, “is that my bus”?
Me, “yeah”.
Him, “thank you”.
I can’t make this kind of shit up. Peace
