Class Reunion humor - true story

Several years ago I was going to go with my ex boyfriend to his 25th class reunion. I only knew a couple of people in the class. Wondering what to do there and figured something would happen and I would know. WELL it sure did! Dear Abby had a letter about that time written by a woman going to her husband's class reunion. She knew no one in the class other than her husband and wanted to know if Abby had any suggestions. Abby told her to see if anyone seemed to not have anyone talking to them and introduce herself, ask something about the person and strike up a conversation.

I decided I could do that...not realizing how great this would turn out!!! I saw a couple standing there smiling as if to say, "Aren't we having a great time". No one seemed to be talking to them. I walked up and introduced myself and asked which one was in the class. She said, and I repeat...never will forget!! "I was and we flew in last night in our plane from our ranch in Texas, we raise Longhorn Cattle". I stood there for a few seconds, and just know my mouth was hanging open. I am NEVER at a loss for words but my brain stopped functioning and the only thing I could say was, "Oh". I turned around and walked away. Several days later I told one of the gals I did know what had happened. She laughed and said, "That is Susie Jones and they really do have a Longhorn Cattle ranch in Texas and are very wealthy".

GreatSmile4you had a blog the other day saying she was going to her class reunion...it reminded me again of this and I knew I had to share it!

Funny - I can guess how you felt. Maybe you need to sharpen your responses. Surely you could have dredged up some kind of pithy riposte from the depths?

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

Maybe you were talkin to George W and Barbara??? I dunno if he raises longhorns on his ranch but he grows a lot of bullsh[i!1l]t.

I hope you do write a blog about your one and only class reunion. If I would have been there, I would have loved watching the girls gathering around you but knowing you were MINE and not theirs! I didn't know you then but I bet you were one handsome guy, the sexy I already know!!
