One Saturday night after having a great supper sprinkled with a couple of bottles of wine my daughter 11 at the time comes to me and tells me they made new friends from Toronto, and their parents were going bowling so she would like us to go and meet them. I convinced my wife that it would be a good thing for us to meet the parents of their new friends. We changed into appropriate attire and went to bowl. John was tall and slim; Mary was average height and was dressed as if she was going to have a drink at a bar. After about 20 minutes of play she left and came back dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. We left the bowing alley and as soon as we got in the car my wife said to me what a bitch. One night about two weeks later my wife and I were sitting outside having a glass of wine when we saw a strange car stop in front of our house. I got up and looked and saw that John and Mary were coming towards our house. I told my wife and she told me "get rid of them", that was easer said than done. Before I knew it they were sitting with us and having a beer. We had a nice evening and John told us that they were in Québec for his job, as the company he worked for in Toronto got acquired buy a company from Québec and they transferred him here for about 4 years.
One stormy night during the month of January Wendy and I went to their house for drinks like we had been doing for the last couples of months. At about 10:00 that evening we ran out of wine and being in Québec you can buy wine or beer at any corner store till 11:00 pm. John and I left to get more. On the way to the store we got stuck in a snow bank, and since John and I were well on our way in our drinking we could not get the car out of the snow. I got on my cell phone and called Wendy and Mary to ask them to come meet us with shovels. After what seemed to be about 30 minutes we got free and went back on our way to get more wine.
