The Potholder Story. The Child. Guy's Weekend.



I think my friend "The Child" has to be the ultimate bachelor. A few years ago we were having a guy's weekend at his place in Maryland. Right near the water. A boat. Sweet deal. While a few of the guys were making crabs here's what happened:

Dave: Child where are your potholders?

Child: Right in the drawer below the microwave.

Dave: (opens draw and horrifyingly holds something up) What the hell is this?

Child: What? I use them as potholders.

Dave: YOU USE YOUR OLD UNDERWEAR AS POTHOLDERS???!!

Child: (acting as if Dave is being a big baby) Oh cooooooome on nooooow! Who doesn't use their old clothing for things around the house??

Dave: Yeah maybe an old T-shirt to dry your car not tighty whiteys as potholders!!

I swear this happened. HAHAHA!! I always picture him having a date over and he romantically is making his date dinner and he says, "Would you mind handing me a potholder out of that drawer? And she kind of dreamily reaches for the drawer....."WHAAAAA????"

  3. Bah! Any bachelor worth his salt wears his underwear until there's not enough to work as potholders.

    I made in 44 years as one. I know.

  6. Okay, now I like saving a buck too, but that's going a wee bit too far.
