*CakeB* HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews" *CakeP*


This is pure treasure! You just made me laugh out loud and that's an almost imposible feat if all you're allowed is text. It's partly because you're describing me, of course, but it was the second lady and her certainty that she had seen your husband as a stripper or a down-and-out that did the trick. Oh, grand comeuppance! It couldn't have worked better if you'd planned the thing and primed the ladies beforehand.

But you have stumbled upon one of the great truths at the heart of males. We don't care what we look like and will stick to an item of clothing until it's just rags, if we take a liking to it. Years after its disappearance, I discovered that my mother had burned a jacket of mine, whose ragged and worn appearance she and my wife had decided could no longer be borne.

And you're left with a glorious tale that is true comedy. Of course, it requires real writing skills to present its full effect and you are clearly up to the task. Part of the contest I'm involved in at the moment requires that I offer suggestions for improvment, but I can't find a thing to quibble about in this. I am defeated but retire from the field still giggling at the tale. Thank you for a most enjoyable read!
