Dead Beat Strikes Again!

So serioulsy, is there a notice out there somewhere sent to all the stores and businesses of our town about me and my 'dead beatedness' as it were? Really this is getting ridiculous. Today it was only funny because of what had happened last week and because Wilma was there to witness the whole thing and laugh with/at me. So this is what happened:

I went to register yesterday for 'something' that is happening in our town this weekend, there was a small fee to register and wouldn't ya know it, I couldn't pay it yesterday! I had no cheques with me and I couldn't pay with debit so I said I would come back. Well today while I was out running various and sundry errands....NOT AT THE GROCERY STORE EITHER.....I ran into Wilma, I hugged her as it seemed the appropriate thing to so as someone just had commented to her how she's being hugged and congratulated all the time now since she became Mrs. Puffy Unkle Kracker Daddy Jack Cap'n Kirk Man. Then both Wilma and I ran into a mutual aquaintance/friend and wouldn't ya know it she's in charge of collecting on my registration fee so there I am in the street this time being asked for my $x.xx again! It was TOO TOO funny I tell you!

Think I'll put up posters of myself around town warning all of my failure to pay and to not let me in unless I show my cash on hand first!

I tell ya with me being a Dead Beat and my husband having a whole phrase coined about his 'one sided' sharing tactics with certain beverages of the bubbly, bitter, "beerish" variety - we are really living up to our potential as citizens of our community and role models for our chillun!

So, in other words, I should never lend you anything or I won't get it back?
Seriously, it was just TOO funny today to witness a dead-beat mom getting confronted on the street for her registration fee. Reminded me of that John Cusack movie "Better off Dead" with the paper delivery boy chasing him all over town "I want my 2 dollars, I want my 2 dollars!"
Pay your bills, deadbeat.

I believe (and stop me if this sounds too egotistical) that I am now your muse.
I notice you write a lot about me. I think you L-I-I-I-K-E me. You want to K-I-I-I-I-S-S me.

There's more to your life than me, I wish you would realize that. I'm a married man, for Goodness Sake!

So refreshing to see new posts on the blog, though. Keep it up, deadbeat!
