better left unsaid

Okay, so my birthday is next month and they have asked me if I want anything special as a gift.

Nah, not really.

But then I thought about it.   My desk chair in the office is about fifteen years old and hideous.    The microwave in the kitchen is in a similar situation.    "I would like a new desk chair and a new microwave."

Well, the ads were on the kitchen table today and thumbing through the kids noticed Office Max has desk chairs for about $60, and Target has a microwave for $49.

So this is where the man then opens his mouth.  Laughing, he says, "So it would take only about a hundred bucks to quiet you up."

Quiet me up?

Buddy you should live to get so lucky.   I love you, you old coot,  ME
