I'm quite a pragmatic person. Some would say cynical. Actually, so would I. I'm quite a cynical person. I haven't always been that way. Well, I have. But I'm trying to introduce a story in an amusing fashion, and by God if I have to tell lies, then so be it.
Mild boredom and a strong desire to procrastinate recently led a work colleague of mine into regaling me with delightful stories of disastrous dates that he had been on in years gone by. Due to the ubiquitous nature of social networking, it would be quite unfair for me to write about his dates without permission. These articles usually get posted to Facebook and other colleagues are my Facebook BFF's. They were corkers, though. Enough to bring a tear to the eye. Several, even.
