It takes all kinds

We've got a local radio station here with a morning show that does a bit called "War of the Roses." It's kind of sneaky. Usually a woman will call the radio station with the suspicion that her husband/boyfriend has been cheating on her. The female talk show host will then call the guy--while on the air--with the front of being a florist. She'll offer the guy a free dozen roses. The catch--to whom does he send the free flowers? Followers of the show come in and tell of these sneaky, cheatin' husbands who NEVER send their flowers to the "proper" recipients. Well, today's took the cake. The woman suspects hubby is cheating on her with his ex--the ex has called the house and has reportedly been seen at his place of employment a few times. He's also been an inattentive husband lately. The radio show host calls, lets out the bait, and the guy falls for it, BUT he requests to split the roses--send six to one girl and six to another! OK, well that's new! Um, to whom are you sending them? To two girls--that the wife has never even heard of! Great! At this point, of course, the wife gets in on the conversation. "Who are these girls?" "None of your business." "What!? I'm your WIFE!" "Who do you think you are putting me on the radio like that?" "What? Why are you not sending flowers to me--YOUR WIFE!" "Because you got fat!" Man continues to berate woman for having the audacity to put him on the radio like that.

But wait--it gets better. After a while, HIS MOTHER calls in DEFENDING the jerk. "He's a good, sweet man, and she should be lucky she's got him." "Men can send flowers to other women. My boss sends me flowers every week, and his wife doesn't care." "And no one in our family likes his wife, anyway!"

Sure, honey--but does your boss send flowers to women the wife doesn't know? And red roses? I think not! A big fight ensues, where the male radio show host tells Mommy dearest that her son is a total douche bag.

Seriously. You try to defend your stupidity by lashing out at the innocent (well, except for that horrible offense of getting FAT part) and then get your MOTHER to defend you. What a winner. Hope his girlfriends were listening and dumped him, too. Sheesh! Cheating on the girlfriends, too! And to think he doesn't think ONE of them is worth a whole dozen, either!
