The Intervention He bought a new straight axle Humvie and we laughed at him for days - offered him a bridge to buy as he had cash to throw away. At first he didn’t understand why we all gave him such hell - he so wanted to be one of the guys it just wasn’t going well And so we threw him an intervention and vowed to help him know the way we had beer and enough hard liquor to easily fill the Hudson Bay. And so we started on our Doctorate on the way that real men think and first as any real man knows you have to learn to drink He learned that draft is better than bottled every time without exception – and that if you’re drinkin’ whisky single malts are pure perfection. And then we tutored him on sports on which to like and which to not Yes to football, baseball and basketball no to soccer, yes to golf Next up trucks and four wheel drives and which engines really roar never buy a ½ ton short bed stick with Chevy, Dodge or Ford We moved on then to Poker and how to bluff and spot a tell he was drunk as an Irish sailor the intervention was going well. And then he asked us about women and the room grew deathly still We said, “Don’t try to understand them - we’ve come to know we never will.” And then he said “How ‘bout those Chargers” and we offered him a yell - we laughed and had another round the intervention had gone well. |
