Room Service!

-
One of my favorite Seinfeld episodes contains a plot line in which George is let go from his job after sleeping with a janitor at his place of employment. In his exit interview he speaks the following line:

If I'd have known that type of behavior was frowned upon in this establishment...

This morning there were two such stories in the New York Post headline. The IMF guy, Strauss something or other is charged with coming out the shower naked and chasing the maid down the hall with his willie shaking before pouncing on her.

Also it is coming down that the Governator had a child with a member of his household staff and thus the reason for Maria hitting the bricks after twenty-some years of marriage.

Years ago it was a hotel girl that tore down poor Kobe Bryant who was looking for just a little bit of forced sex (allegedly) as he rehabbed his knee.

While the idea of getting a little something from someone who cleans your freaking room is something that might happen - in Penthouse Forum - it is also the very thing that is frowned upon in most establishments as well as being frowned upon by the unsuspecting spouses that are waiting at home on the other end of the business trip.

It's always kind of blown my mind that men get into trouble for such things. It's not like there aren't certain urges that pop into the old brain now and again, but to act on them is absolutely mind-boggling.

Not to mention that hooking-up doesn't sound like much fun when the other member of the party is screaming 'NO! NO! NO!' when you pop out of the shower with your thing hanging out.

I suppose that it comes down to people just being too weak to quell their own desires, even at the expense of the other person, but it is also more than that. The three people mentioned above are all in positions of power and the lady with the toilet brush and the spray bottle of Windex is certainly not.

Here's what's frowned upon...for the record...

TRYING TO FORCE YOUR PATHETIC URGES DOWN THEIR THROAT!

(So to speak).

Anyway...it sure would be a pleasure to some day open up the paper and see the following headlines:

The Sun is Out in Buffalo!

OR

Not a Single Person Did Anything Really Stupid Last Night!

Seems to be little chance of either of those things happening today.

My Buddy, Dave

Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I be...

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C...

My sister’s book is out there! Go get it!! It makes me so proud to see the book on Amazon, knowing that it’s very, very great! It’s been a long, long time since we were out in California, brainstorming my stories long before they were published. Carrie Lynn was writing, writing and writing some more through the years and I kept telling her… …”Go for it!” Well, she did!  To amazing results. Of course I was able to read the book as it was being put together, but I ordered a copy from Amazon yesterday and can’t wait to read it again. The shoe is on the other foot now as I have been sitting on a lot of my writing lately. I plan on getting it out there before the end of 2024, but for now: Carrie takes center stage! And it’s so great… …go get a copy!
