... earlier this week, I let slip a secret to The Wife... nothing big, of course... but something that she had been unaware of through all these years of marriage...
... see, occasionally when we are discussing how we met, how we started dating, etc, she brings up the "missing two weeks"... these are, of course, the two weeks that passed from the time she gave me her number until I finally called and asked her out... no biggie, right?... ladies?.. is two weeks too long to wait to call a girl after she's given you her number?...
... anyway, it was nothing clandestine... I was busy with honest toil for those two weeks and didn't have the time.... but does she believe me?... not really... I think she is under the impression that I was pubcrawling and incessantly trawling for poontang for those two weeks... and when I failed miserably, I finally broke down and gave her a jingle...
... but as I said, nothing could be further from the truth.... and while we were chilling in Chili's awaiting the arrival of Liv on Tuesday, she brought up the missing two-weeks again... and that is when I laughingly mentioned that the only person I ever even considered going out with while in Scotland (and before meeting her) was Jacqueline Dunne...
... big mistake, campers... for I had unknowingly let slip a secret that I had naturally assumed she was already privy to... namely that I had performed a flawless full-court press on a cute English stewardess on the flight up from Heathrow to Aberdeen... and had, in fact, exchanged numbers with her... even going as far as to ask her to ring me up when she next found herself in Aberdeen..
... seven days into my duty though, I met the soon-to-be Missus and all was set...
... no harm, no foul... right?... but here is where the penny dropped... I carried on the conversation... and told her that I had arrived home one night after one of our steamy dates and was greeted by a message stuck to my bunk...
... "hey, hammerhead! .. some Brit chick named Jacqueline Dunne called and left a message while you were out on the town... she says she's at The Carlton in Aberdeen and wants you to give her a call"...
... uh huh... your humble SWG was getting a booty call.... but did I call the delightful Ms. Dunne?.. the hot, alabaster-skinned, doe-eyed stewardess who was in town for only one night and wanted my gentlemanly company?... probably for wild, tear-you-hair out, sweaty, no-questions-asked, monkey sex?...
... nope...no, Sir.... I did not make the call... but after telling the story on Tuesday, well, I think that I should have probably told The Missus about it before waiting through 12 years of marriage...
And we are supposed to believe that one????
Bullshitted by Michele on April 15, 2006 09:25 AMthe corps has a way of making two weeks disapeer with out you knowin it... days turn in to weeks and the next thing you know a month has gone by and it's just been work... they never belive ya when ya tell'em though... they just think those weeks were spent as blury hazy past time where Jim Beam showed up with his buddys Jack and Jose and... well you know how it is... to bad they never belive us when we tell them that the time was spent workin...

Bullshitted by Eric on April 15, 2006 09:56 AMI may be in the minority here, but my attitude with my spouse is, "Who does he come home to at the end of the day?" What's in the past is in the past. I don't question nor do I care. If something is volunteered, that's cool.
Bullshitted by Bou on April 15, 2006 11:18 AMYa shoulda snuck out for a fling with the stewardess.
And then kept your mouth shut about it. FOREVER!
Bullshitted by Acidman on April 15, 2006 11:26 AMfinding out NEW information in front of "others"...is NEVER good, although I am sure you know that after 12 years....
right?
Bullshitted by armywifetoddlermom on April 15, 2006 03:45 PM... actually, we were alone... and no one overheard our conversation... but I just posted about it... so now everyone knows...
Bullshitted by Eric on April 15, 2006 03:54 PMYou still got that number?
Bullshitted by RedNeck on April 15, 2006 05:13 PMYou are LUCKY she'd talk to you after a 2 weeks of not calling her!
Well, as you so eloquently put it, no harm, no foul.
As far as we know...
Bullshitted by Elisson on April 15, 2006 10:09 PMHow do you know it wasn't your future missus posing as the stewardess and ready to bust your chops if you showed up at the hotel?
Your wife may be a diabolical master fiend who had you targeted and under surveilance from the moment you exchanged phone numbers.... women can be devious like that, and some like to get in an early start... :)
.. thanks for THAT nightmare, Graumagus...
