I was, due to a number of circumstances, in the presence of a girl who really hates me today. And she asked for a music recommendation, knowing that I have decent taste in music. So, I recommended that she buy Led Zeppelin IV.
At first, she was reluctant to buy it. But then I told her that she could slap me as hard as she wanted, twice, if she didn’t like it. At this very moment, she is probably sitting down to listen to it. Girl in question is bratty and spiteful, so she may just lie, say she doesn’t like it, and slap me. On the other hand, it’s kind of hard to claim that you don’t like Led Zeppelin IV (Rock and Roll, Stairway To Heaven, Misty Mountain Hop, Going To California… I mean, come on).
I don’t think I’m going to get slapped. But it could happen. Am I going to get slapped? Should I have recommended her something else?
Black Dog and Rock & Roll are a bit boy’s bedroom rock (you know air guitar and all that). She probably didn’t like LOTR and will think The Battle Of Evermore is very silly. She won’t even make it to Stairway To Heaven.
Grit your teeth and think of England.
By the way if she actually slaps you I think she really likes you.
True - but I love em enough for the rest of woman kind
I think the OP is gonna get slapped though, just outta spite. Further, I doubt she even bought the album. She’ll say she did, hated it, and returned it to the store.
Good suggestion man. I love Zep, and I’m a girl as well. Still, if she hates you, love or hate the album, she will slap you. Most people would slap someone. [Forrest Gump]/ A little white lie never hurts no one /[Forrest Gump]
If I recall properly (and please do correct me if I’m wrong), you said that everyone present could slap you, twice, including her, if she didn’t like the CD.
And that would add up to eight slaps if you don’t abuse yourself and if you only consider those who were in the store with you at the time, not who joined us later.
So the stakes are just a little bit higher than you stated.
But considering the fact I wouldn’t slap you, you only need to worry about six.
Gasp! She’s leaving the rest of us out of this!
Well, chances of you seeing the others at a recent date are pretty slim anyway, so I guess you really only do have to worry about two.
Unless she decides to be courteous and take over the responsibilities of the rest of us.
I predict that she likes the album, she doesn’t slap you, and she develops a mildly disgusted “The-title-of-the-album-is-not-Led-Zeppelin-IV” dismissive attitude towards you in place of the hate.
