A bunch of college friends, including Joe and I, were invited to stay at a friends’ beach house this past week. Since Joe and I live close to one another, we decided to make the 7+ hour ride together.
Yes, I know. Fuck me, right?
I’ll save that story for another time.
We hit absolutely no traffic during the trip down and arrived way earlier than expected. Our friend was still at work for another half hour, so Joe and I decided to hang out in Best Buy to pass the time.
We found an empty Wii station and began playing Mario Party. Joe and I are both very competitive, so we quickly entered the fucking zone. We played for well over a half hour. Little kids were coming up to the game, looking at us like we should take turns with them, but we held our territory firm. A Best Buy employee came over driving a fork lift, trying to get down the narrow aisle, but still we didn’t move. My friend texted me and said she was done with work–that we could now come to the house–but we just couldn’t leave. I mean, we were only two mini-games away from beating Koopa!
When we were finally done, basking in the glow of sweet victory, I turned to Joe for some sort of celebratory gesture (maybe a high-five? A fist bump? Fucking something!), but his head was down.
I didn’t know what he was doing until he looked up at me, mortified.
“My fly was down this whole time!”
Now, laughter may not have been the correct response from me, judging by Joe’s face, but laughter is what I produced.
“This isn’t funny! he said. “So embarrassing. Why don’t they have some sort of alert system for this kind of thing?!”
And then, he went into Joe’s Shitty Idea Land.
“Yes, a Your-fly-is-down Alert System! I could rig a wire that loops around the top of the zipper-pull and attaches to the button. You’d have to fasten it every time you put your pants on. And if it wasn’t fastened for longer than a minute, an alarm would sound! No one would ever have to suffer this embarrassment ever again.”
Yes, because a beeping crotch is much less embarrassing than your zipper being down. ಠ_ಠ
Just curious, if you are in the bathroom, will the alarm sound the whole time? I mean that could become quite annoying. I also worry about anything with potential shock that close to the sensative areas.
JIs it me or does oe reminds anyone of Steve Martin’s character in “The Jerk”.
My thinking might be getting shitty, but I think a beeping crotch would be a good pickup tool. “Hey Baby, you made my lust alarm go off”.
That, my friend, falls in the same league as sequinned satin undies for men.
Laughing out loud again, thanks!
Posted on You’re a far braver viweer than I I’ve given up on even the one genre show this season I sorta liked, Reaper, cause when it’s on, I can’t motivate enough interest to actually watch a whole episode.I’m a reality whore now. It’s all I do.
Ha ha!! You know they have this for bed wetters. You have a little alert system clipped to your undergarments. It’s supposed to train your brain. This may work for Joe!
Don’t tell me Joe was trolling at Best Buy.(sarcasm here) Sheesh,I know he has issues (no thanks to Pat)One would think one would feel a cool breeze,or something.
Joe was just inventing one embarrassment to cover up the other embarrassment. Priceless.
I actually think there is some potential here, although in my opinion it would be better to get straight to the root of the problem and have some kind of device that prevents flies from descending in the first place…
You won me over with this one. Can’t wait to see what other shitty ideas Joe has thought up previously.
i love joe.
Would buy this just to witness the sheer look of surprise/shock on a girl’s face as the alarm goes off if I’m ever about to get lucky one day
I suffer with a beeping crotch – it is a genetic condition.
When he finds the ultimate clucking chicken sound effect for the alarm, he should patent it.
Reblogged this on Eagle Wings Soaring.
“Very, very few women (or men) emerge more filcnaianly secure after a divorce.”Yes, divorce drops standards of living on both sides. But the crime of American divorce is that the less-secure party _during_ the marriage can take part of the more-secure person’s money _after_ the marriage in the form of alimony – so they are coming out better than if they hadn’t gotten married.And that brings us to…”Right now, her guest is part of a marriage that makes about $210,000 per annum. If she loses access to that other $90,000, she’s gonna suffer consequences.”She makes more than hubby, so Suze’s guest’s husband should get himself a lawyer today and prepare to sue for alimony.
