Tough Guy, or Teddy Bear? You decide.

After I posted the last entry about my brother in law, I received a message on my answering machine; apparently papers are being drawn up at the law firm of Smith, Pittman, & Pittman, and I'll be in the poorhouse in no time.

The voice was muffled and suspicious though, so I've turned the message over to my niece, a future forensic scientist. She'll run the message through a schmancy DNA voice recognition transmogrofier silver powder combustion centrifuge cylinder machine, and, I suspect, point her finger at her own father in a matter of minutes. Won't his face be red?

Mr. Tough Guy.

Yeah, right. Here's a note my sister found this morning:

A romantic gesture with a power washer.

Anyone that pulls a stunt like this won't have the heart to drag me into court.




(I do wonder, though, what might be washed into MY sidewalk, if I keep this up.)

  1. I think you should retain the law firm of Dewey, Cheatum and Howe to defend you.

    I like the silver powder part thrown in there.

  4. You're so screwed. But once again, you made me smile. And it is, afterall, all about me.

    Perhaps you could request a power-washed elephant in your driveway on the off chance someone would shout some great phrase for you. Just a thought...

    Where can I buy one of these machines? You've been drinking AGAIN, haven't you?

  7. That's right, give him ideas for revenge. :-) That;s inarguably the sweetest gesture ever. And so manly! Power washed an I love you message into the sidewalk. Ladies, you may think "WTF?" but really:
    A spontaneous romantic gesture, unbidden, and not trying to get out of the doghouse in a unique and inimitably many fashion?
    That's LURVE right there.
