In response to last week’s
question, "When celebrating in New Orleans, South Beach and Santa Monica,
should you assign a designated walker?", my writing and sailing friend
Rich advised, "What is normally a short walk can be an awfully long
crawl when you have been over served. It is always prudent planning to
have someone in good enough shape to show you the shortest, safest, softest
path home."
My videographer friend Ivan
attempted to add, "Sure, we call that a 'Wing Man.'
So if your Wing Man is a Designated Walker, does that make him a Wing
Walker? That sounds pretty dangerous, so the answer is no. Except
that girls like men of daring and danger, and a good wing man will help you get
the girl, so, yes. But my wife would not approve, so no. Maybe I'd better
not try to tackle this week's question, I am way out of my league."
My friend Richard, who recently
recovered from several broken bones, replied, "Yes,
and the walker should come with front and side airbags as standard equipment,
with a collision warning system as optional equipment. Oh, wait a minute… By 'walker'
you meant an individual, not a device. Disregard."
My dad's beach buddy Bob
observed, "I don't know about those places, but you definitely should in
Cannes." To this, my social media friend Mark offered, "Yes,
and I am volunteering...just bring me along any time you go."
My equestrian friend Royce
replied, "I had a shiny new chrome one with 4 wheel drive in Nawlins but
some damn drunk stole it. Or maybe I was drunk and lost it when...never
mind."
Please share your thoughts about this
week's "things that make you go 'Hmmm' “:
How do you conjugate "woof" (or "meow")?
Live. Love. Learn. Laugh ..
Lighten up!
