Latest input from the Fair Damsel who is the target of my affections....reports she has received a Ring as of today....still had a "Sold" label attached to it! I bet the cheap bugger only has it on layaway and has not paid for it yet! Probably he thinks this is like the due diligence clause in a house purchase....at some point prior to finalizing the contract you can get your money back.
I can assure him after a chat with the guy with the collar and filing the marriage record....the days of getting "your" money back is over!
On second thought.....back out Laddy....do it quickly....and I shall book my flight west! The homestead is mine on the 16th.....only recreational travelling and no more Fire contracts, touring jobs, hanging about hospitals, sleeping in airport pilot lounges, or following the fuel truck all over the country.
Why she could have a full time cook and laundry washer!
Perhaps there is a deal to be struck!
Is this the Ring?
