Comments on: check out my plumber’s crack http://www.minorthird.com/2004/02/25/check-out-my-plumbers-crack/ slightly dissonant, yet pleasing Sat, 22 Nov 2008 12:20:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.1 by: Amytart http://www.minorthird.com/2004/02/25/check-out-my-plumbers-crack/#comment-1118 Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.minorthird.com/2004/02/25/check-out-my-plumbers-crack/#comment-1118 This post on a shower head reminds me a of a story: *music cued* So...it was our two year anniversary....we were in love....trying really hard to not still do it in the aisle at the grocery store. I was hoping for a diamond....and the smell of diamonds were in the air. My hubby, then boyfriend, told me that we were going out for dinner to celebrate our anniversary and we were going to go "pick out" my present. "Pick out......" those words kept ringing in my ears. I imagined 1/4 carats, 1/2 carats, platinum, white gold, silver....the possibilities were endless. He said he had a few errands to win as well, taking me from Walmart to Rite Aid and then to Home Depot. He seemed to have a spring in his step as we entered the Home Improvement Store. He headed toward the back, and I then realized..."we don't need anything in this store..." He then got to the back of the store, his back turned to a display I couldn't see...he then, with his shit eating grin said, "Uh....here is your present..pick out whichever one you want.." What could possibly be behind him........? My eyes grew wider as he moved out of the way and showed exactly WHAT my present was. Showerheads. Yes, all of you that are sitting there with your mouth open.....SHOWERHEADS. He beamed from ear to ear..."Pick out whichever one you want..." I was thinking in my head, "I take all those good things I was thinking of you back" and choked back my vomit as I picked out the most expensive damn shower head they had. This post on a shower head reminds me a of a story: *music cued*
So…it was our two year anniversary….we were in love….trying really hard to not still do it in the aisle at the grocery store. I was hoping for a diamond….and the smell of diamonds were in the air. My hubby, then boyfriend, told me that we were going out for dinner to celebrate our anniversary and we were going to go “pick out” my present. “Pick out……” those words kept ringing in my ears. I imagined 1/4 carats, 1/2 carats, platinum, white gold, silver….the possibilities were endless. He said he had a few errands to win as well, taking me from Walmart to Rite Aid and then to Home Depot. He seemed to have a spring in his step as we entered the Home Improvement Store. He headed toward the back, and I then realized…”we don’t need anything in this store…” He then got to the back of the store, his back turned to a display I couldn’t see…he then, with his shit eating grin said, “Uh….here is your present..pick out whichever one you want..” What could possibly be behind him……..?

My eyes grew wider as he moved out of the way and showed exactly WHAT my present was. Showerheads. Yes, all of you that are sitting there with your mouth open…..SHOWERHEADS. He beamed from ear to ear…”Pick out whichever one you want…” I was thinking in my head, “I take all those good things I was thinking of you back” and choked back my vomit as I picked out the most expensive damn shower head they had.

Being the subject of this story, let me just tell you that Tart has taken liberties with this story and the reader needs to be assured that this was a stupid thing on the subject's part that should have never happened and is not representative of the subject's neverending and overly abundant expressions of love for his wife.
