Let me tell you a little story. Two guys are friends. Tennis partners, you might say. Guy one is married, lives in the windy city, enjoys his life. Guy two lives alone, grows skunk marijuana in rural Ohio, and is sick of hearing Guy one tell him his cargo shorts are frilly. Guy two wants revenge.
What does Guy two do? Maybe you saw this coming. That's right: Guy two steals the other guy's wife, and parks his tractor right inside her.
It's a sucker punch, using another man's photography against him, but a clever one. That said, it's not so impressive. Chris takes the game to the big city, rolling into town on his mean green machine, but I'm not wowed. Bullies get the girls, but not the respect. I wanted more.
Walking home tonight from dinner, I watched one boy steal another boy's bike. I didn't say anything because I live in France and I'm not fluent in the language and I was shy about intervening, so here's my chance: Guy two, that rug really pulled the room together. Low blow.
