happythoughts 0 #1 December 16, 2008 Christmas mother-in-law QuoteTAMPA - Mom thinks her boy is a catch, so much so she shells out 500 bucks for an ad in The Tampa Tribune. "ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS ... a WIFE for my SON," it begins. Signed Christmas Mother-in Law, the plea continues: "I'm sad that he's alone, a 37 year old handsome Tampa professional ... "Help me find him a wife!" Prospective brides are asked to contact a post office box in Virginia. QuoteClaudia swears there's nothing wrong with her son. "He's such a good boy," she says. "He's so good-hearted, so good-looking. He's got a good job." ...and the last time he got laid was after a Carpenters concert. QuoteA Leo, he considers himself outgoing and passionate. He loves the outdoors, beach and mountains. The outdoors? The mountains? Outgoing and passionate? It's Osama Bin Laden. QuoteJason is a software marketing manager. He was even employee of the month. Ah... the exciting life of software geek AND employee of the month? I'm suprised that he needs his moms help. Damn... employee of the month. QuoteSo far, he says, his mother has received only three responses to her ad. Two came from other mothers: one with a daughter, who sounds promising; the other, a son. ...wait a minute... a son? Perhaps we weren't clear enough. QuoteWANTED: DAUGHTER-IN-LAW Jason's mom took out an ad in The Tampa Tribune to help him land a wife — or at least a few potential candidates — by Christmas. If you're interested, send a photograph and information about yourself to: Christmas Mother-in Law, P.O. Box 11802, Blacksburg VA 24062. She'll respond with a thank-you note and send each reply to her son, who says he will meet with every person. He will meet all of them? Ruh-roh. Haven't had a date since the Nixon administration? Former Miss June of the 1981 Krispi-Kreme calendar? Local holder of the one-room apartment cat-population record? We have the man for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are people who have had profiles on the dating websites for a couple of years, with no success. I foresee a flood of replies from that crowd.

happythoughts 0 #7 December 17, 2008 Quote Quote Perhaps the problem is his mother.... Perhaps that's why he's in FL and she's in VA Yep. Mom in VA doesn't understand how FL works. FL is the original "What happens in FL, stays in FL" Every weekend there is a new crop of vacationers from Ohio and Michigan. Ready to party, and no one from home knows what goes on. He found out that he can stay single and get a new lobster from the tank each weekend. Mom would not approve. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
