But it's ugly....

The Hard Dog roll bar I put in the Miata a few years back came from a used car dealer that sold a Miata to some chickie-poo.

She liked the car but hated the roll bar even after the dealer explained it could save her life. She rebuffed his arguments with the chickie-poo saw of "But it's ugly."

Last night I got on the horn with someone I have not seen or heard from in over 30 years and we laughed ourselves silly over the things we did and saw.

One of the guys had a much loved, very beaten upWW2 era flight jacket he was seldom seen without. It had the old Confederate Air Force blood chit sewn on the back. Try that today.

He had just gotten a new girl friend and I guess she was trying to see whatever it is that insecure chicks try and see when they get a new boyfriend. She didn't like his jacket so she threw it out.

He came down to the bar where she was supposed to meet him and saw her and asked where his jacket was. She said she threw it out.

He told her he liked the jacket and she had no business doing such a thing. "But it's ugly," she protested.

He said he'd be back in a half-hour and in about a half hour he returned wearing the jacket he'd fished out of the trash.

She saw him in the jacket and protested. "It's ugly," she whined.

Four seconds later she was over his shoulder demanding to know what was going on. "YOU'RE ugly," he said and out the door the two of them went. A few seconds later she found herself deposited into the bar's dumpster along with thee beer cans, whisky bottles, half-eaten hot dogs and sundry trash.

Then he came back into the bar and ordered himself a beer.

I saw her the next day whining about it and noticed that she got no sympathy from men whatsoever and damned little support from women, either.

I was in the bar at the time as the friend I hadn't spoken with in over 30 years and we laughed about it.

We also reminisced about things that make me wonder why we have lived as long as we have.
