Subject: For Stacy<br />

Dear Stacy,<br />

I'd just like to thank you for being so understanding about my current situation. You see,<br />

my brother, your husband, has a tendency to take a very cynical view of everything.<br />

Don't ask me how he got this way, since Jason has always been the lucky one: he's the<br />

one who got the head for business, while all I got was, if you'll excuse the clich., the body<br />

for sin. He was also lucky enough to get you, Stacy. I guess it's easy for a guy who's got such a<br />

gem for a wife to sit back and criticize the rest of us poor slobs, who can't even find a<br />

geode out there, let alone a jewel. I guess Jason doesn't remember how hard it was for him<br />

to meet a girl who was actually attracted to him, and not the Trent family fortune.<br />

Apparently, Jason doesn't remember Michelle. Be sure to ask him about Michelle, Stacy.<br />

Or Fiona, for that matter. Or Monica, Karen, Louise, Cathy, or Alyson.<br />

Go on, ask him. I'd be curious to see what he has to say about any of them.<br />

What Jason doesn't seem to realize is that he has already found the best girl in the world.<br />

He forgets that some of us losers are still out there looking.<br />

So tell your husband to cut me a little slack, will you, Stacy?<br />

And thanks for the invitation, but if it's all right with you, I'll skip dinner this Sunday.<br />

Love,

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
