The Plain Guy

The Plain Guy and the Beautiful Woman “Now would you look at that” he said to his Pal at the bar as he nudged his shoulder. “Look at that beautiful woman and who she's with”. His pal looked over his shoulder to see one of the most elegant women he had ever seen, arm in arm with a man rather short, balding and rather plain looking. “He's either got money or a big slong...who knows maybe both. How does a guy as unattractive as he is get such a woman?” replied to his friend who nudged him. “I don't know, I just don't know.” Hey let's have some fun, come on, follow my lead. Hi there, I'm Fred and this is my Pal Murray. We saw the two of you come in and well, we just had ask you both a question. The rather plain man spoke up. “Excuse me but we don't entertain strangers with answers to questions we know nothing about. Your both rude and condescending. Now please leave at once.” Fred and Murray were not easily dismissed. Hey wait a minute pal. We have an important question to ask the lady here. The beautiful woman leaned to her husband and whispered into his ear....and smiled. The rather plain man spoke up again. “I believe that I know what kind of question you are going to ask. So let me guess and see if I am correct.” Okay Pal...go right ahead.....the two men smiled at each other. “Let's see, you see before you a beautiful woman, yes?” “Yeah, we do.” “And you wonder how a rather plain man like myself might attract and yes, even marry such a stunning creature, Yes?” Uh...yeah...that's right. “And you think I must be very wealthy in order for her to be with someone like me. Which is insulting to both me and my wife. Or you think that I might possess a manly tool or both, Yes?” “Hey, we're asking the questions around here.” “So let me come to a conclusion for you both”. Said the rather plain man. “I am a well published author, I am an accomplished concert pianist and I have a genius IQ. I enjoy fine art and find beauty in everything I see. I adore my wife with all the love and respect that I can bestow upon her. And most of all I get her......and she gets me. Now leave before I kick your asses up around your shoulders.” “Oh boys,” The beautiful woman finally spoke. “And he can do it to! He's a very manly man.”
