Left Behind?



I just received a call from Al which has cracked me up to no end.

The phone rang and I answered it like always.

He said, "What ya wearing?"

I laughed, "Hey Al."

He said, "Sher-bare, you didn't leave anything behind!"

Not understanding his remark, I repeated the last part as a question, "Anything behind?"

"Yes, like an earring or a ring...a glove or your favorite lipstick."

"I made sure I had everything." I laughed and patiently waited for him to make his point. With Al, it's always the long road.

"Don't you want a guaranteed return visit?" He asked.

Then it hit me... "How to lose a guy in 12 days" (or whatever that movie's name is...with Kate Hudson.) The girl left an object at the guy's house so she would have a reason to contact him, if he didn't call back.

He continued, "Every woman I've had over at the house for dinner or to watch a movie, has left something. Except you."

"Was it good stuff?"

"What?" He asked.

"The things they left behind?"

"Nothing that looked good on me."

I laughed, then said very seriously, "You know Al, all I left behind was great memories of a wonderful weekend. If they don't guarantee me an invite back, no amounts of jewelry, gloves, scarves or even undies left will either."

He laughed, "You make a good point." Then he cleared his voice, dropped it an octave and asked, "Soooo, what ya wearing?"
