Your Intrepid Hero: "Thanks, Honey!"
LML: "I also cleaned it out. And vacuumed."
YIH: "Wow . . . thanks, Honey!"
LML: "And I tried to put the book back in the glove box, but I couldn't."

LML: "Because there was a huge wad of cash in the glovebox!"
YIH: "Oh, yeah!"
LML: "Why is there a huge wad of cash in the glovebox?"
YIH: "Why?"
LML: "Yes. Why?"
YIH: "Well, I told you I was saving up EMS paychecks . . . you know, to go to that course."
LML: "How much does 'that course' cost?"
YIH: "Uh . . . The Farnam course?"
LML: "Yes. How much does it cost?"
YIH: "Uh . . . about . . . . $400?"
LML: "Wow."
YIH: "Do you want me to skip it?"
LML: "Nope. But I'm glad you locked the glovebox."
(There's a kiss here and it gets kind of mushy. You see, this is my Father's Day present. For Father's Day this year, I am allowed to save up my ambulance-driving paychecks to pay for a shooting course. I wanted to do LFI-1 this year, but I got around to it too late. This course is probably actually better for me, relatively untrained n00b that I am, but it's more expensive--and although I wouldn't have lied to her about it, I figured it would be easier to explain after the money order had been sent. That was dumb. She's a hell of a woman.)
The Love of My Life has informed me that she does not either talk like that.
ReplyDeleteI believe she may be referring to my use of italics.
Funny stuff. Sounds like a good woman. By the way, you may be intersted, check my blog for a supposed "Free Course" at Front Sight. It's just too much info to re-type here.
ReplyDeleteAnd, assumeing you don't mind, I'd like to add a link to you on my blog.

The Farnam course is excellent. I can't compare it to LFI, because I haven't taken Ayoob's courses, but I have taken both the basic and advanced handgun courses from John and Vickie Farnam, and they are excellent. They cover the whole self-defense spiel, from not getting into a gunfight in the first place to how to deal with the cops afterward. Good luck and have fun. Great Father's day present.
