Conversations With A Wife #3
Posted on August 24, 2008 in The Other Half by Andy @ Yellow Swordfish5 Comments »

She finally wakes up and comes downstairs to join me still looking half asleep and gazes out into space through bleary, half-open eyes.

“I had a nightmare” she murmurs. I make the appropriate sympathetic noises.

“I was at some kind of party or something with lots of celebrities. I was talking to Martin Landau”. It becomes clear suddenly.

“Ah”, says I, “you had a Depp meeting”.

“No”, she responds sadly. “He wasn’t there…”

There is a slight pause before she adds

“…that’s probably why it was a nightmare”.

    Aww poor Mrs YSF. A blind date party and you’re expecting JD and get Martin Landau. Hmm I can see why she was upset. Tell her it could have been worse. It could have been Tom Cruise.
