锘? Recently psychotherapists and counselors have been
recommending that old married couples go out on 'dates' to rekindle their
relationship. The purpose of these dates is to create a sense of excitement when
the fire has gone out and stimulate local commerce during the recession.
In the pursuit of immense diversification potential and unlimited
profits
Saints
Michael Thomas Jersey , our R&D team got together over the
weekend and outlined a roll play dialogue for an Old Married Couples Dating
Training Manual. What was interesting is how this would play out in different
regions of the United States.
What we found was that old marrieds dating
strategies would have to be customized for approximately 75 different
demographic regions nationwide, not including Hawaii and Samoa.
For
instance, envision this old marrieds dating conversation at a chic, very West
Coast Silicon Valley breakfast table:
"Honey
Saints
Sheldon Rankins Jersey , I want to ask you out on a date," says
he.
"You need my permission to ask?" says she, "You either want to ask me
or you ask me. After all these years you still can't get it right."
"Well, do you want to go out on a date?"
"I swear to God your
seeing that shrink is not doing you any good at all. In case you have
forgotten
Garrett
Grayson Rush Jersey , and God knows I can't, I'm not your
girlfriend. Google me and you'll come up with 'wife'; my Google print isn't just
pages it's volumes and they all scream 'wife'."
"Well the counselor said
we were supposed to ask our significant other out on a date and it couldn't be a
virtual date. The whole purpose is to create a sense of excitement and rekindle
old fires if you know what I mean."
"Honey, those fires died when you
defragged your hard drive. And just what do you plan to do? Get in our broken
down car, drive around the block
Hau'oli
Kikaha Rush Jersey , ring our doorbell and announce you are ready
for our date? Won't the neighbors think you finally fried all your white matter?
"
"I guess so, but the counselor said I should do it anyway. Working on
improving relationships is an important part of my therapy; sort of like a
neighborhood Wifi."
"Really? Somewhere I missed all the RFPs in all
this...it's true I don't check my Blackberry but I'm only in the next room. You
used to be considerate enough to at least yell. Is all this that difficult or
are we just really that stupid? "
"Could be some of both according to my
psychotherapist. I have to completely erase my brain's hard drive and install a
new operating system. It's going to take about nine years."
"Nine years?
You've got to be kidding. And you believed her. She doesn't know what she's
talking about. I'm around you way too much anyway; when I go somewhere I
certainly don't care about going with you."
"I love you too, hon. After
all these years it still makes my eyes water when I think of how tender we are
still with each other."
"Sometimes I think I liked you better drunk. All
this rehab nonsense has made you into a mush head. You hardly yell at me
anymore...I almost feel like you stopped caring."
"I talked about it
with my therapy team and they all agree I should manage my anger and find my own
little mental space where I can go and hide when I feel like going ballistic. Or
when I feel I need to be with just me."
"May the gods help us...I just
wish they would stop filling your head with manure because you're starting to
spread it around here."
"Sorry, hon. I try to look at it like spam. If I
fill my head with enough spam I can overwrite my buggy mental software and drive
out all the evil and spiteful glitches that used to dominate my RAM. It's harder
for evil to grab me if I'm hip deep in spam."
"You fell in
Stephone
Anthony Rush Jersey , bozo. But all right already, I'll go along
with your therapy team and go out on a date with you."
"Great. That will
make my team very happy. Where should we go?"
"Either Costco or Ross's.
You said we need to go somewhere exciting."
"What time shall I pick you
up?"
"How about let's go around 10:00".
"That's too late for a
date."
"In the morning, dimwit."
"That's too early. I think it's
supposed to be 7:30 or 7:45 at night. It's supposed to be like a teenager
date."
"That's odd because in a certain sense I really do feel like a
really stupid teenager right now. So, why don't we just make it 7:38 for good
measure?"
"Well 7:38 sounds a bit sketchy but maybe they won't mind.
They are really busy so maybe they won't notice."
"Oh no doubt your team
is absorbed with much greater thoughts. This oldster dating rehab therapy would
never have occurred to me; you have to give them credit for dreaming this one
up. And just what does your shrink say about all this?"
"Actually she
doesn't say much at all. Mostly she just nods her head and says 'good'. That and
'goodbye
Andrus
Peat Rush Jersey , see you next week at the same time."
"I
was worried she was going to give you drugs."
"She said I look like I was
already drugged and she didn't think I needed any more."
"She's a real
sharpie all right. Why don't you just pick me up at 10:30 and we'll be done with
it?"
"What about 7:38?"
"Tell them I already have a date for then
although after 40 years of being married to you it seems more like a ball and
chain."
"I love you too, hon. What should I wear?"
