36. Too funny

Sun Jun 1, 2014, 08:51 AM

Jun 2014

Yes, I think it's time to play with their heads.

Years ago, a talk show host with whom I worked - we'll call him Gus - found out my stalker soon-to-be ex was tapping my phone.

Gus said, "Oh, let's have some fun with this."

He would call and say stuff like "The cocaine's in. Meet me at such-an-such place."

When I spoke with him about testifying on my behalf he said "And I will never tell them about that guy you killed in Alabama."

He made me laugh.

I want you to know when I had to go for depositions, ex's goober attorney asks "Ma'am, have you ever been to Alabama?"

In the midst of the horror of that day, I wanted to die laughing.

They asked all kinds of stupid questions, wasting their time, based off Gus' messing with them.

So I say let's all make up shit while we're talking and trade facebook identities and send them on a crazy wild goose chase.
