This weekend a woman I know said she and her five friends wanted me to take them to a party in Seaside. They offered me free food, drinks and a beach house which they also pointed out had a hot tub. Never being one to miss an opportunity, I thought I could use this to make my wife jealous, so I called her and said, “Hey honey, six women invited me to the beach”. She said that’s nice, which was not the response I was hoping for so I added, “The seven of us are sleeping in a 2-bedroom house. “After telling me to “have fun”, I was stunned at my lack of success. So I said, “But I’ll be the only guy and they are going to be wearing nothing but running shorts and loose t-shirts plus there’s a huge party Saturday night. ” My wife smugly answered, “Greg, they called me first, I know they asked you to drive them for the Hood to Coast run. If you think staying up 30 hours straight with 6 women is going to be fun you’ve obviously forgotten what I’m like when I don’t get my 8 hours of sleep. You have no idea the hell that awaits you, and I want you to go, please go.”
