Fawlty Showers“How’s that hot wife of yours?” Stanley asked. “She ever ask about me?”
I laughed. “Never.
Not once. I think you’re in her ‘met you, forget you’ file.”
“Well, does she smile when she sees you?”
“Sure, why?”
“Then she’s probably seeing you, but fantasizing that it’s
me.”
“A 90 year old toothpick in a velour track suit right out of
the 70s. You’re every woman’s dream,” I said, smiling. Stanley laughed.
He paused for a moment, then in a serious tone asked, “How
you two doin’? You taking care of yourselves? You’re not my age, but you aren’t
getting any younger.”
For all his bluster and sarcasm, Stanley was one of those
people looking out for other people. We
need more Stanleys, I thought.
Today I’ll be grateful for people looking out for other people.
