Re: What is up with this?

 

Apparently, despite his ex-wife’s desertion on what was to be their first wedding anniversary, he has every reason in the world to feel quite pleased with himself.

 

Does THAT make you think a little more fondly of him?

NO!!! Size doesn’t matter, and you know it.

 

Well, not that much.

 

She really left him on their first anniversary?

He came home from work, preparing to change clothes and take her out for an evening of celebration, and found a note. She’d had movers in while he was at the office. They took everything. Except the cat.

They had a CAT????

It was her cat. She left it with Cal because her new boyfriend was allergic. Cal took care of it for almost a year, hoping Valerie would change her mind and come back. But she didn’t. So Cal got himself assigned to Iraq.

Oh. The cat died right before he decided to leave. Of cancer. Mark says he isn’t sure which left Cal more brokenhearted—his wife leaving him, or the cat dying.

You are such a liar. You made that whole thing up about the cat dying. What really happened to it?

He gave it to Tim Grabowski in IT.

 

Still. The cat COULD be dead now, for all I know. Poor, poor Cal.

You are so pathetic.

 

And I wouldn’t feel too sorry for Cal Langdon if I were you. He’s doing just fine for himself.

 

Promise you won’t let Mark drive through the mountains. He will plunge us to our deaths.

Um. Yeah. Maybe I’ll drive after lunch. Or we can get Cal “Large Appendage” Langdon to do it.
