Guest guest Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Marriage is love. Love is blind. Marriage is an institution. Therefore marriage is an institution for the blind. ------------------------------------------------------------ When I stopped to visit a friend, I found her on the phone with a real-estate agent. "That's a little high!" she e xclaimed. "What can I get for less than $500 a month?" The reply was evidently not to my friend's liking. "I see," she said abruptly, and hung up. "What did the agent say you could get?" I asked. "A car." [borrowed indiscriminately from Reader's Digest.] *-------------- Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes ---------------* My cousin, a perpetual bachelor, owned one of the biggest and fastest-growing businesses in Miami, a furniture store. I convinced him that he needed to take a trip to Italy to visit a manufacturer and check out the merchandise himself. And maybe he could meet an available young Italian women. As he was checking into a hotel he struck up an acquaintance with a beautiful young lady. She only spoke Italian and he only spoke English--neither understood a word the other spoke. So he took out a pencil and a notebook and drew a picture of a taxi. She smiled, nodded her head and they went for a ride in the park. Later, he drew a picture of a table in a restaurant with a question mark and she nodded. So they went to dinner. After dinner he sketched two dancers and she was delighted. They went to several nightclubs, drank champagne, danced and had a glorious evening. It had gotten quite late when she motioned for the pencil and drew a picture of a four-poster bed. He was dumbfounded. To this day he says that he's never been able to understand how she knew he was in the furniture business. ____________________________________________________ IncrediMail - Email has finally evolved - Click Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
