A Truck is a Truck
Posted by Thirty Seconds in Engagement Rings, Man to Man on Friday, July 17, 2009
I wince every time a young man utters the most unabashed pledge of allegiance to his vehicle in front of his girlfriend.
It’s a common expletive when he comes face-to-face with the ring she really wants, versus the one he's prepared to buy her.
Keep your vehicle envy under your hats, boys. For her, a visit to the jewelry store is just like the day you bought those sport rims for your refurbished muscle car. Anticipation. Visions of admiring glances. Jealousy. That kind of stuff.
Every time a guy says, “Man, that’s almost as much as my truck!” he is knocked clean off his white horse. She walks in feeling every bit the princess she has been brought up to deny. And in a split second, feels lower than a snakes belly because her white knight loves his horse more than the damsel in distress.
There are but a few moments in our lives that we will remember upon passing to the next phase of existence. I believe the happy times spent with the people you love are what we will remember as we drift off into the abyss. All guy talk aside, showing a woman how much you cherish her is worth its weight in gold. You only get one chance to do it right. Don’t blow it.

This is so true, I see this in my store all the time. What was once the most emotional moment in her life was just taken away by a dumb comment. Come on gentlemen, your supposed to be her "Knight in Shining Armor."

Agreed. Well...of course I do...I just wrote it. Have any other funny comments you've consistently heard over the years?
