Can you believe this guy?
The wife and I are out to dinner with our friends Dan and Liz Jobson. Now, Dan (The Man) has been my buddy since we ended up on the same softball squad ten years ago at our old company. Those were the days, we could both still run for two minutes without getting side-stiches! Now, as much as I love Danny, he got into the whole “having a family” game a little late, so his baby boy still needs a sitter when we go out. On this particular night, he and Liz couldn’t find one so baby Ryder came to dinner with us! Now, some people might see this a damper on the night because “We can’t curse in front of the baby!” and “We can only have one beer in front of the baby!” but not me. This is a perfect opportunity for me to shine. I let the dinner go on as usual, making the polite dinner conversation we’re all accustomed to, all the while making jabs at Dan about how I wish Ryder here could’ve seen me hit his daddy’s pitches out of the park. We finish our dessert, argue over the bill (which ends up being ours to foot :/), and finally I see the waitress walking over with the little black book. This is the moment everyone has been waiting for, whether they realize it or not. She says “I hope you’ve all enjoyed your meal tonight, its been a real pleasure having you!” I can’t contain myself, this one has been boiling up all night. Before she can say another word I blurt out “GIVE THE BABY THE CHECK! HE SAID HE’D COVER IT!”
Swish!
