I was about to type up a mischievous thing entitled "I'm Having Trouble." I knew the thread title by itself would have a few folks here look in a hurry, as BS'ers are the best family in the world.
And the punch line would have been, "I'm having trouble thinking of a new theme for a thread, but I'm sure y'all can help me with that." And that would have been that. That's all, and then watch that one develop. When I first came on board over a year ago I started the Thread About Nothing. And so it was. It was fun to watch the folks who "got it" and the folks who ...well, it was a terrible idea to start with.
But minutes ago I check my email, and there's not nearly the amount that used to be there, but the whole thread theme and title changed, just like that - Decision Time:
A man returns home a day early from a business trip. It's after midnight.
While en route home he asks the cabby if he would be a witness.
The man suspects his wife is having an affair and he wants to catch her in
the act. For $100, the cabby agrees.
Quietly arriving home, the husband and cabby tip toe into the bedroom. The
husband switches on the lights, yanks the blanket back and there is his wife
in bed with another man!
The husband puts a gun to the naked man's head.
The wife shouts, "Don't do it! I lied when I told you I inherited money."
"HE paid for the Corvette I gave you."
"HE paid for our new cabin cruiser."
"HE paid for your Pittsburgh Steelers season tickets."
"HE paid for our house at the lake."
"HE paid for our country club membership, and HE even pays the monthly dues!"
Shaking his head from side-to-side, the husband lowers the gun. He looks
over at the cabby and says, "What would you do?"
The cabby replies, "I'd cover his ass with that blanket before He catches
cold."
