Him: You know... Roofs are underutilized, especially at the mall.
Her: How so?
Him: Well, there's all that space, and it's not used for anything. I mean, in California with the weather so mild. They could do something with that space.
Her: Such as?
Him: Wedding receptions. You could put up a big pavilion tent, it would be fine. And it would easy to find, cause it's at the mall.
Her: People would fall off the roof - lotsa drinking goes on at receptions.
Him: We'd use those rent-a-fences like at construction sites.
Her: What about bathrooms?
Him: There are bathrooms at the food court.
Her: People are supposed to use food court bathrooms in all their finery?
Him: Sure, why not?
Her: No.
Him: Okay, porta-potties.
Her: Finery.
Him: Really nice porta-potties. Stylish.
Her: No.
Him: You never like my ideas.
Her: I like the ones with indoor plumbing.
I'll take your side on this one. I was at a wedding recently with porta-potties. Finery/no finery, that's what there was.
ReplyDeleteI just waited until I got home.
No- No- No....
ReplyDeleteSorry but NO.
I think I have to side against you on this one. The people I know who would think that getting married on the roof of a mall is a good idea are the same people who would, after a beer or two, take bets on how much weight those rent-a-fences could hold before they finally topple over and allow the distance jumping games to begin.
ReplyDeleteMr. Lizard, you say that as if it's a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteI look on that as Darwinian evolution at its finest.
Could be worse. There's a business in england that rents out inflatable churches for weddings.

[well written post though--nice handling of dialogue--whatever happened to your writing group??]
SQ - Thanks for the kind, undeserved words!
ReplyDeleteThe writing group fell prey to disastrously different work schedules - and humans are lazy, me especially.
