A John Tale

So, my Mom and her new husband come back here. It wasn't that he couldn't sell the product back there, it was that he was lazy and didn't want to work. So they moved back here and he didn't want me around. So he tried to get rid of me.

So he said that I could make a lot of money in Las Vegas. He had a friend working there are I could make a lot of money. All I had to do was go there and work in one of the restaurants.

So we drove up there to check it out. That's what we were supposed to do. He really wanted to dump me there.

What the liar didn't tell me was that I had to join the union. The unions decide who works where and how much money they make.

He did have a friend up there and he was alright and I moved into his apartment and he took me down and I joined the union and then they put me to work in this restaurant as a busboy.

I worked there for a while and it got boring so I quit. Or I was fired. I don't remember what.

I didn't want to go back home so I found this job in retail. I interviewed with the guy and he said "We're opening up this second store and I could use some help in setting it up. And then we'll see."

So I said "That's fine," and I helped him set up this shop.

And I worked there for a while and it looked like I was going to be working at the new one and I went over to the old one and he'd hired this woman to manage the old one. Well, I looked at her and she was beautiful. At least I thought she was.

So, we got to talking and I asked her if she'd like to go out some time and she said she would but she wasn't sure what her schedule was going to be and she told me to stop by the see her tomorrow.

So I felt pretty good. I asked this girl I thought was beautiful out and she said yes.

So, the next day I'm over at the old shop and the owner says, "Hey, you know that woman who was going to work in the store as the manager?"

And I said, "Yeah?"

And he said, "Somebody killed her last night."

Boy, that was a bummer. Here this girl's going to go out with me and somebody kills her.

It turns out there was a cop shopping in the store when she was there and she was talking to some guys and the cop thought something wasn't right but he didn't follow up on it. He checked up on her, but by the time he did, it was too late.

It kind of put me off asking girls to go out for a while.
