JUST A BUCK???!!!

no idea if hunkpapa already let the cat out on this one...but for those of you who dont know, allow me to let you in on a little thing we call ...,"THE BUCK"

it was about three years ago and my older brother was involved with a girl who essentially was not the right one for him...they were on again / off again. A couple times...needless to say neither of them knew what to do. so "I" as a loving brother stepped in to offer some much needed love, advice, and encouragement,' "FIT FOR A MAN...BY A MAN" so i told him that she wasnt good for him and that it was a bad idea to continue...what happened next was profound...

all I could think of was what had happened to none other than yours truly, so i improvised..i told him that once, when i was goin thru the same saab story.." i think she's the one, how could i be with any one else, blah blah blah"
some amazing love guru did the best thing for me that i was now gonna do to him... he gave me a dollar and told me that if I ever go back with this one particular girl, that he would take the buck back.

now to many in love this seems fine. but before i agreed to this deal, he told me that the buck represented my dignity. and that if i went back to this girl, by handing over the buck,. i would symbollically be handing over my manliness and dignity,. it made me think for a second... it actually helped me a lot. but i never went back with this girl, and im better for it.

so i then told him the same thing... but something odd happened just then. he told me that he was so sure that he wouldn't go back to her that he gave me one hundred to one odds. and you know what... he still hasnt got back together with her, not that its was a lack of trying on her part. she tried and tried. but he couldnt part with the $100..

i guess the moral of the story is..if you really love your friend who is going thru the same thing, make sure you pull out a buck.. and extend the same offer....!!! love ya pat!!!

ps. he was breaking up with his next gf in a diner and it was getting late and i wanted to go SOOOO BAD. and he just was procrastinating, so i went to the door behind her on the way to the bathroom, stopped caught his attention, and flexed a single george washington his way... they were broken up in ten minutes!!!!!

IT REALLY WORKS ... honestly im not a jerk
