I Failed...

A Bronx Tale:

Sonny: Alright, listen to me. You pull up right where she lives, right? Before you get outta the car, you lock both doors. Then, get outta the car, you walk over to her. You bring her over to the car. Dig out the key, put it in the lock and open the door for her. Then you let her get in. Then you close the door. Then you walk around the back of the car and look through the rear window. If she doesn't reach over and lift up that button so that you can get in: dump her.

Calogero 'C' Anello: Just like that?

Sonny: Listen to me, kid. If she doesn't reach over and lift up that button so that you can get in, that means she's a selfish broad and all you're seeing is the tip of the iceberg. You dump her and you dump her fast.

In my defense: It's 2008, not 1960 - how many people really have cars without automatic locks in 2008? And, I knew I was supposed to do it - I remembered and leaned over - it was just too late... and I'd had 2 draft Coors Lights at dinner!

Got my balls busted all night for it too... *sigh*

A word of advice. Don't think that credit card is magic. Someday, you are going to have to be a grown up and pay for it. And when that time comes, even though you have a good job and make good money, you will be putting all of it towards stupid minimum payments that magically double with no warning even though you are trying so hard to get ahead and then when you think you are making progress - like that - it's gone...

*sigh*
