Would you like to know what funny is? Funny is two husbands (well, one husband and one soon-to-be-husband) trying to think up ways, funny, rich, strategic ways, to convince their wives (well, one wife and one soon-to-be-wife) to do something stupid and silly for New Year's instead of something genuine, sweet, and romantic. If you believe that comedy can be found in failure, then, dear readers, read on. Dave: Hey. I just found out something fun to do for New Year's... (girls will hate it but we'll love it) Bensmash: What's that? Bensmash: I'm already paying money. Dave: s u p e r s u c k e r s Dave: Seeing how that won't happen, I have no idea what else to do that night. Bensmash: Damn. Bensmash: Damn. Bensmash: Well... Bensmash: Actually... Bensmash: I think they MIGHT go. Bensmash: We're taking them to their French Circus, right? This is OUR circus. Dave: Uhhhmmm, true, but then agian, it's our women. We aint goin'. Bensmash: Just hold on... Bensmash: I think I can figure a way to get us all to go. Bensmash: I'm going to bring up a word now, Dave, that might now sound all that appealing. Bensmash: Ready? Dave: Okay Bensmash: Sacrifice. Bensmash: The question, brother, is, "What are you willing to sacrifice?" Bensmash: I have an answer to that question. Dave: Okay, let's have it. Bensmash: Hannukah presents. Bensmash: We'll take THIS as our collective gift. Bensmash: BRILLIANT! Dave: See, the problem is that it's New Year's - a holiday. Adina and Lisa want to do something nice - which probably doesn't include smelly punkers. 20 minutes later... Bensmash: I told Lisa about sacrifice. Bensmash: I told her about her French Circus. Dave: ...and she said.... Bensmash: I told her about taking a chance and spending New Years with a wild and random group of strangers in a totally lit atmosphere. Dave: ...and she said... Bensmash: I told her about saving money on Hannukah presents for you and me and just letting us all go to THE SHOW instead. Bensmash: She said, "ok." Bensmash: Then I said, "WOOHOO!" Bensmash: Then she said, "Just kidding. No." Bensmash: DAMN IT ALL TO HELL! Dave: Eh, tell you what... Bensmash: What? Dave: Next time they come to town, we'll pretend it's New Year's. Bensmash: Hell yeah. Dave: And we'll do all the New Year's crap people do. Bensmash: Great. Confetti. Counting. Dave: Sounds like a blast. Bensmash: Confetti instead of beer. Counting down instead of rocking out. Dave: Eh... Bensmash: Let's make THEM happy. |
