A Not So Funny Joke On Modern Times
This Guy walks into a Bar.......
As his eyes adjust to the dim lighting and his nose tries to adapt to the stench, Guy sees his PI sitting at the bar. He walked over next to her. While waiting for the bartender to come down to this end, Guy watches the eyes of the PI in the mirror. She tilts her head towards her right shoulder. The bartender asks him what he wants.
Guy orders a shot of Irish and a draft from the bartender then he turns around and sees the couple necking in a dimly lit corner booth. He tells the bartender to have the waitress bring his order and whatever the couple in the booth in the corner are drinking.
Guy walks over and sits down sliding over next to the startled woman and puts one arm in a familiar gesture around over her shoulders, pulling her away from the now glowering other man.
Waitress sets the Irish whiskey & draft beer in front of Guy, a rum & cola before the woman and a bourbon on the rocks in front of the other man, taking their empty glasses. Guy drops a twenty and a ten on the tray and tells her to keep the change.
Once the waitress sashays away, Guy starts talking to the man who had been necking with the woman.
"Hey fellow, I know you and I haven't met but obviously you are well acquainted with my pretty wife here."
The angry look on the other man's face from the interruption and familiarity towards his date quickly becomes wary, then glares at her.
"You told me that your marriage was over!"
Finishing a good swallow of the rum & cola and putting the glass back down. She turns her hostile visage from her intrusive husband, to sneer at the man now sitting across from her.
"You're a typical man, you only hear what'll get your rocks off."
After shooting down the whiskey and chasing it with half the draft beer, Guy slaps the mug down and runs his free arm sleeve across his mouth.
"Yeah, she's good at that innocent, abandoned divorcee act. You ain't the first to fall for her cowshit. You won't be the last!"
She violently pulled away from his arm into the middle between the two men and spat at him.
"You fucking well know that our divorce will be final in just two weeks! You got no hope in hell of getting me back."
With equal venom, he replied.
"Honey, why would I want your sorry skank cunt back?"
Guy looks back at the other man, who is so obviously trying to make up his mind between 'fight or flight'.
"I'm just here to remind my ex-darling here to be on time Monday for 'Our' Clinic appointment. That was a nasty case of drug resistant gonorrhea that her last Mister Wonderful left us with plus the HIV tests we'll have to keep doing for the rest of the year."
Guy looked coldly across at the other man and then, with a small twinge of pity. In a very tired voice, worn out by repetition, he attempts to explain, one goddamn more time.
"I'm trying to keep this stupid slut alive for our children's sake. Especially since the morons in the legal system gave her full custody. Plus, if anything happens to her, then her parents, the same useless hippie idiot's that raised this whore, would get my children."
With barely contained anger and contempt he snarled at her.
"Funny that she hasn't spent more then an hour or two a day with them, this month. And even if those bureaucraps in Protective Services, would pull their smug, empty heads out of their asses, they would then toss my children into the maw of the foster system with all the emotion of dropping a banana peel into a trash can!"
