Who's pissing on your head and telling you it's raining?

I met a young lady tonight that told me about how she met Santonio Holmes in a bar and is soon going to be dating him (he keeps texting her), so he'll probably just pay this car off anyway. Her aunt ratified this and corroborated details of the interaction.

ok!

that's great news!

She didn't know anything about him...and he didn't tell her he was a multi millionaire. (Just like in the movies) but her friends and aunt told her afterward....

Also, the $1200 check we're holding for a week for her down payment will be clearing with no problems.

where's that facepalm thing?



ah!.,....yes.

Too bad there isn't a "crazy" breathalyzer.

To be a fly on the wall and what would the fly have seen as a reaction?

Lj doing the squint y eyed stare? Or red with embarrassment for her? smile stiffly? lean forward at the desk with intertwined fingers to stare her down as if to figure out what planet she is from all the while playing the poker face? or cajoling and playing humorous all the while inside your bugging out?


do tell!

Do you think she and auntie are a pair of con-artists or just incredibly naive?

Certainly, always professional, even when it hurts.

and she's correct, of course. you have to play along in that situation. I know how to talk to a tweaker. She's probably bipolar. We kept one of her keys until we're funded.

So, we took our car back last night.

It turns out she lied about her employment and income, too. Gasp!

I forgot to tell you that the check DID, in fact, bounce and she was coming in last night to pay us half in cash....... but we had gotten a call from the lender who discovered that her paystub was fake, and she didn't work at the salon at all.

It's good to know my instincts are still working, i guess.

You want me to swing by Cortland (Jets training camp) and let Holmes know? I'm sure he'd just buy the car out-right.

If I weren't so lazy I'd make a Santonio Holmes sock puppet.
