A Georgia Congressman was seated next to a little girl on
the airplane leaving from Atlanta when he turned to her and
said, ‘Let’s talk. I’ve heard that flights go
quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow
passenger.’

The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it
slowly and said to the total stranger, ‘What would you
like to talk about?’

‘Oh, I don’t know,’ said the southern
congressman. ‘How about global warming or universal
health care’, and he smiles smugly.

‘OK, ‘ she said. ‘Those could be interesting
topics. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow,
and a deer all eat the same stuff – grass. Yet a deer
excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty,
and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you
suppose that is?’

The southern legislator, visibly surprised by the little
girl’s intelligence, thinks about it and says,
‘Hmmm, I have no idea.’

To which the little girl replies, ‘Do you really feel
qualified to discuss global warming or universal health care
when you don’t know s…it?

12 July 2008 Saturday

Saw him in the evening and he was acting really strangely. I’d been shopping in the afternoon with the girls and was a bit late meeting him, thought it might be that.

The bar was really crowded and loud, so I suggested we go somewhere quieter. He was still very subdued and distracted so I suggested we went somewhere nice to eat.

All through dinner he just didn’t seem himself – he hardly laughed didn’t seem to be paying any attention to me or to what I was saying, I just knew that something was wrong.

He dropped me back home and I wondered if he was going to come in, He hesitated but followed. I asked him what was wrong, but he just half shook his head and turned the television on.

After about ten minutes of silence I said that I was going upstairs to bed, I put my arms around him and told him that I loved him deeply, He just gave a sigh and a sad sort of smile. He didn’t follow me up immediately but came up later and, to my surprise, we made love – but he still seemed distant and a bit cold.

I cried myself to sleep – I think he’s planning to leave me – maybe he’s found someone else.

MAN’S DIARY

Saturday 12 July

Played golf today and was crap – Gutted. Got a shag though.

LOL. While I know this is fake, a lot of it rings true on so many levels.
