Had the privilege of dining with Oreggano and Mail Order Bride the other night. Mail Order Bride lives several hours South of us and was gracing us with her presence because the rodeo was in town.
“What are you wearing to the rodeo?” she asked Oreggano. “We’re getting Wranglers,” Oreggano proudly replied. “I don’t know what to wear,” Mail Order Bride said and asked, “Do you think It’s The Eyes would be pissed if I dressed as a rodeo clown?” “I don’t think you should worry about that. I quite like the idea. If you have a pie and a bicycle horn you can do the ‘Angry Clown,'” I advised. “Oh, that’s a good one,” Oreggano stated. “I’ve got a clown nose if you’d like to borrow it,” I informed Mail Order Bride.
“That reminds me,” Mail Order Bride told Oreggano, “Have you talked to your parents? I asked them to pick me up a mail order bride while they’re out of town.” “Where did Quite Contrary and Bowtie Killer go? Are they in a third world country?” I asked. “Kind of,” Mail Order Bride answered, “They’re in California. I specifically asked for a Filipino.” “Wow,” Oreggano replied. “Well, I wanted to go with them, but knew I wouldn’t fit in their suitcase,” Mail Order Bride told us, ” So I asked them to bring a bride back for me.”
Seems like a good souvenir. I’ve only one concern: the suitcase. If Mail Order Bride was a real rodeo clown she would have a clown car and wouldn’t need to worry about fitting in a suitcase. Hopefully her bride likes pie.
