Back a few years when I was young and single and hard of hearing
I met this missus
at a bar.
She wasn’t bad so I asked for a dance and we hit it off so I asked her out on a
date
She said yes so the next day when I picked her up
and made small chat, I asked her what she did
when she said she was a Veterinarian I said
Wow.
Now I am thinking I hit it big because Vets make lots and we can go to all those expensive places
a poor boy could not afford.
So I took her to a great place I knew was expensive just to
impress her.
When I pulled up in the Steak House parking lot she said what the hell
and slapped me in the face
at first I thought it was okay but then after two or three not so much
so I asked what was wrong, then discovered
what happened
damn my hearing, the old brain substituted
what she said for something that sounded like it
she didn’t say Veterinarian
but Vegetarian.
The date was over, my face hurt. I brought her home, not a word in the car except for some advice
she said get a damn hearing aid
damn.
