Her First Date With Ted

I would give an arm and a leg to see him, she said. She was going to meet a new guy by name of Ted. Only time will tell if things will turn out okay. I am weak as a kitten, I heard my friend say. At the end of the date she had the time of her life. She expected this guy Ted to make her his wife. I said, I hope you did not speak of your crazy short leg. No, she nodded. I avoided that like the plague. I took the tiger by the tail, she told me smugly. Thought outside the box, called myself May Puggly. There are plenty of fish in the sea, I reminded her. Just in case the expected outcome did not occur. It is as plain as the nose on my face she said later. He was not much of a man, a notorious dater. He is now as dead as a doornail me, that hack! Was she actually the pot calling the kettle black? Time sure did fly when I was having fun. But now that he has stood me up, this creep had better run!
