The following reasons were given by one of our guests
to persuade another of our guests to attend:
- We can trade stories about our
latest running/biking adventures
- Mike may get #@%*!faced and make a
scene
- Likewise for me
- It's about time we got together on
this coast for a change
- What else are you going to do that
weekend?
- I am going on a big sailing race the
following week and I might get lost at sea or otherwise
refuse to come home
- You get to meet my girlfriend and
you can make up embarrassing stories about me [editor's
note: nobody would have to make up any stories]
- If you don't go we will all think
you're a weenie
- It's a very emotional, important,
day for Jon and the love of his life, blah blah blah
and the most important reason…
- If you go, and mention PZT once
during the evening, I can call it a business trip and
expense the whole thing!!!!
Of course, after making this very effective set of arguments,
the weasel's not coming after all. We're not going to mention
any names, but Frank really needs to keep better track of his
sailing schedule (after
lying to Gilbert and blowing off our wedding, you'd better win,
Frank!).
No, we don't actually think most of you will find any of these
reasons very persuasive, but they're all we've got…
