My roomate showed me an article entitled "My Date from Hell!" with different
stories. I thought people on this list might find this one cute:
----
She is showing me around her house. She just had it built, and though it's
small, it's really nice.
It's our first date. We met at a CPR class; now I'm taking her out for dinner.
She's showing me every room and I'm trying to pay attention, but I'd rather
look at her. She's pretty and petite.
The house isn't my style - frilly curtains, frilly bedspreads, all fancy enough
to be in a home-decorating magazine.
She leads me to the kitchen and I decide I'm hallucinating.
There is a pig in her kitchen. Sitting in a huge metal tub big enough to for a
human being to bathe in is a pig. A whole pig, three or four feet of pig, with
ears and eyes and a tail, floating in water and staring a hole through me.
When it dawns on me that it's dead, I don't feel much relieved.
"Oh, I love pork. I like to make my own," she says, sounding carefree. "This
pig needs to get cleaned out a little before I chop it up, so I'm letting it
soak. Can you imagine how many newspapers I'll have to put down once I start
the chopping? It's going to get pretty messy in here!" She laughs, a delicate,
ladylike laugh. "Just think," she says. "If you marry me, you'll have fresh
pig all the time!"
Suddenly, I'm a vegetarian.
