Tonight on the ride home I was chatting on the phone with our friend Fr. T. When I hung up with him I turned the music back on. I’m always tuned into the Sirius “Highway” Country station during my commute if for no other reason than the off chance I might hear “Toes” by the Zac Brown Band. It just puts me in a good place.
Anyway, listening to the DJ talking to a listener on the air and the listener reminded the DJ that he was the guy on some cruise that the Country channel was on the cruise for, etc. etc. etc. and the listener mentioned he was the guy who proposed in the middle of the dance floor. The following conversation took place on the air as I listened:
Listener a la King of the Hill style: Yeah man, I was the guy who tried to get down on his knee without falling down on his knee on the dancefloor to propose.
DJ: Oh, yeah yeah I remember I remember.
Listener a la King of the Hill style: Yeah man I was so nervous. I’d say I was more nervous than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs!
And then I have no idea what else was said because I literally laughed so hard I almost had to pull off the side of the road. You totally know I’m going to be looking for the perfect opportunity the next time I’m nervous to use that line!!! It was PRICELESS!!! So thank you Country Highway listener for totally making my night and cracking me up so hard. You have truly no idea how I needed that laugh tonight. You took me completely by surprise and that’s the best kind of doubled over uncontrollable laughter. Your lady is very lucky to have you if only for your quick wit!!!
That is Priceless. You can use it on me and I’ll laugh out loud again – it’s that good. You think that’s the guys “line”? Like he says it ALL the time?
I love when things catch me off guard and make me laugh like that.
And I totally heard that guy’s voice exactly like King of the Hill. LOL
That’s awesome. My husband’s good for those one-liners tho his are never very PC.
did you know that Dad used to use that line, too?
Some of the lines I hear down here in the South slay me. One that gets me every time is (in response to “How are you?”): Finer than frog’s hair split four ways. Whaaa?? LOL
