"Thanks for the sex, boys!"
Tonight, Jeff and I are going to see Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson on Broadway. We got the tickets for free (thanks, Dad and Lisa!), which is the only way I can get Jeff to go to a musical, even if it is full of testosterone, gore, and history.
Yesterday morning I tried to make him see the light.
Me: At least it's not Boring, Boring Millard Fillmore.
Jeff: Yeah, or Shitty, Shitty James Buchanan.
Me: Ha.
Jeff: Or Rapey, Rapey Warren Harding.
Me: Wait, what?
Jeff: Or Slutty, Slutty Calvin Coolidge.
Me: Calvin Coolidge was a slut?
Jeff: Yes, I can't believe you don't know this. He slept with his entire cabinet!
Me: Even the men?!?
Jeff: They were all men!
Me: Wait, Calvin Coolidge was gay?
Jeff erupts in laughter. I wait for it to subside.
Me: Okay, but seriously, who did Warren Harding rape?*
*Note to anyone as gullible as me: the answer, obviously, is no one. I don't want to start a scandal.
You should totally make Scenes From a Marriage into a comedic non fiction best seller.
ReplyDeleteI can feel the chemistry and hilarity through the screen.
The rest of your blog is also funny but you and the missus are sooooo sweet.
I feel as though I should research my presidents more. Happy Monday Una!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading you for awhile now and this is my first time commenting. I saw the show about a month ago when it opened and although it was hard for me to get into ("populism yeah yeah"... wtf?!) it actually ended up being quite funny. Plus guy-liner + insanely tight pants never hurt anything.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of any of those guys - were they on Sesame Street ever? Or did they do cameos on Cheers or Frasier because otherwise I probably won't have seen them. I'll go on IMDB later and check them out.
ReplyDeletei second recessionista's comment! yes yes yes. you MUST have enough scenes from a marriage to make a book by now. or you will soon. (although you may want to leave out the one involving the reverse thong...)
ReplyDeleteOooh I'm all for making Scenes From a Marriage a non-fiction best seller!! I'd buy that book!
ReplyDeleteAmerican history: the scandal years.
