Greasy Skid Stuff

“By the way,” Cara said, “My friend owns a restaurant not far from the golf course.  You can have his bachelor party there.” 

Cara was a master organizer.  Under other circumstances I might have been glad for her help.  Now she was just greasing the skids for Sam’s Titanic of a wedding.

Some people are a bad influence, but skid greasers go a step further and ease you into ruining your life.  The skid greaser shows up with the booze so you don’t have to leave home to relapse.  They introduce you to the person who seems nice at first, but becomes the reason you change your cell phone number and the passwords on your laptop.

Skid greasers seem like nice people.  They sound sincere. They are the bricklayers paving the road to hell with good intentions. “I just wanted you to have some fun,” they say. “My brother’s a lawyer, he’ll get us out.”

Today I’ll beware of the skid greasers.
