Caught in the Act or Where is Toerag As an experienced salesman, Michael, traveled the state. Sometimes he couldn’t come home at all, sometimes he’d come in late. One day he told his spouse, “I have to do something for the company. I got to teach the trade to another man, He’ll be my new trainee. We’ll be gone for three or four days, I hope you’ll be just fine.” She assured him she can do for herself, like she’s done time after time. When he met the new recruit, he greeted him politely, as any gentleman would. They shook hands and soon became friends, like new colleagues should. Said, I’m known as Balladeer, some say ‘Deer, but don’t you dare get affectionate. How do you do? My name’s Mike, known as Long John, a former Pirate. Since I am the Salesman of the Year, you’ll soon be selling as much as I do. But before our trip begins, please, be my witness. I think my lady thinks I’m a fool. He drove back to his house with his new assistant well after midnight. He opened the door to the bedroom and found an embarrassing sight. He went into a rage, threw back the covers, said, “I have had enough. I can’t take anymore, I am going to blow Toerag’s head off.” He pulled out a gun and said, “Move over Hon, I can’t believe you’d do this with my good friend, Toerag. Ya’ll deceived me and destroyed my happiness.” But, wait, dear, “Who do you think pays the bills around here?" “I do," he said. “No," she said, “he does,” pointing to Toerag, there.” “I don’t care, move aside," he said again, as he raised the gun to shoot. “It just don’t matter anymore, I just don’t give a hoot.” “Wait,” she said “Who do you think bought that recliner chair you relax in?" “I did," he said. “No," she said, “he did,” again indicating their friend. “I still don’t care, now for one more time get out of the way." Once more she pleaded, “Who do you think bought the car in the driveway?" Finally he stopped, scratched his head and asked, “Are you saying he did?" She sighed with relief, as he lowered the gun, and replied, “Yes, he did." He turned to his wide-eyed witness and asked him, what he would do? Long John, well experienced himself, said, “I’d cover him up before he catches the flu." |

If Toerag is paying all your bills, who is your lady keeping up? Pull up the covers. |
