Charm school
Thursday, June 30, 2005
Two nicely dressed ladies happen to start up a conversation during
an endless wait in the LAX airport.
The first lady was an arrogant
The second was a well mannered elderly woman from the South.
When the conversation centered on whether they had any children the
husband built a beautiful mansion for me."
The lady from the South commented, "Well, isn't that precious?
The first woman continued, "When my second child was born,
my husband bought me a beautiful Mercedes."
Again, the lady from the South commented, "Well, isn't that precious?
The first woman continued boasting, "Then, when my third child was born,
my husband bought me this exquisite diamond bracelet."
Yet again, the Southern lady commented, "Well, isn't that precious??
The first woman then asked her companion, "What did your husband buy
for you when you had your first child?"
"My husband sent me to charm school," declared the Southern lady.
"Charm school??" the first woman cried, "Oh my God! What on earth for?"
The Southern lady responded, "Well for one thing, instead of saying:
"Who gives a shit?" I learned to say, "Well, isn't that precious?"
