You were right on the money, Feynn! I’m having my smoke now.
And for all Mr. Rilch cared, I could have given up shaving the entire time he was away.
We don’t care about body hair as much as women do… especially after a protracted absence.
Hell, if it was me I’d even offer to do the shaving if it just had to be done.

Where was he? Doesn’t he know he had us worried SICK? It’s two hours later here, you know! He couldn’t have called?

when my wife and i were first married, we lived in southeast washington dc. she’d tell me “I’m going out for a little while to do some shopping” in the early/mid afternoon. she wouldn’t get back until after 1:00AM sometimes. the first few times this happened I actually called the cops asking about potential car wrecks and such. then I was just worried, then furious, then annoyed…anyway, a couple of cities and years later she still stays out late doing god-knows-what at all night walmarts and such. i’ve repeatedly asked her to come back within a reasonable time, say by 11pm, but she just can’t do it.
so instead of being worried when she doesn’t come home, i’m just (mildy)angry and resigned.
ahh well, she’ll learn the first time she ever get’s into any trouble.
Just wanted to let y’all know why Mr. Rilch was late. He and his boss got a flat tire, luckily near an exit. They pulled over, put on the spare, started up again, drove three feet, and the spare went flat. ARRRGHH! So they were delayed four hours—the same amount of time they were late. Mr. Rilch admitted that they could and should have called, nevertheless, but his boss didn’t want to pull over and risk something else going wrong. Anyway, that’s all it was.
Thank you all for your support!
