“Maybe some day I will get a date for a party,” Christopher said apropros of nothing.
“Oh really? When do you think that will be?” I asked.
“Maybe when I am a teenager.”
“That’s sort of young…what sort of woman do you think you might want to date?”
“I will dial crazily and when a person answers I will say ‘ARE YOU A WOMAN?’ and if she says yes I will ask, ‘DO YOU WANT TO GO TO A NEW YEAR’S EVE PARTY?'”
I laughed nervously, “Do you really think that is a good idea to randomly call strangers looking for a date?”
“In Garfield John was dating a cheerleader and then he went grocery shopping and she called and Garfield hung up the phone and jumped up and down on the recording…” he dissolved into giggles.
“Why did he jump up and down on the anwering machine?” I had to know.
“Oh because John was eating pizza without him.” And then he walked away.
There you have it: more pearls of wisdom gathered from the comics and filtered through the fertile mind of C. Riley H. Some of you might need it. I mean, it’s Saturday night and if you play your cards right – dial crazily and shout loudly enough you just might get a date with a woman, maybe even a cheerleader.
This is great. I will be sure to pass this advice on to my single friends.
duly noted.
I think the key is the crazily dialling.
