Sympathy
“Pleased to meet you, I hope you guessed my name,” she said, shaking my hand…
“Pleased to meet you, I hope you guessed my name,” she said, shaking my hand. Although I hadn’t seen her before, she looked like the girl I dated in college. “Of course,” I said, “you’re Judy in disguise.” With a devilish grin, she said “I am glad you didn’t call me the devil in disguise.” I knew I had met my match. “No, I don’t like Elvis but I have lots of sympathy for the devil,” I replied. “Alright then,” she affirmed “you must be ready to spend some time with an evil woman.” That’s how our enchanted evening started.
“Pleased to meet you, I hope you guessed my name,” she said, shaking my hand.
“Well,” I replied, “dressed like that I expect it’s Cleopatra.’
“Oh,” she said looking down at her skirt, “It is made of whelks. It’s the nearest thing I could get to the original.”
“Well Cleo, what’s this money making scheme then?” I asked.
“It’s a ten thousand dollars investment in a quarter share of an ancient Egyptian pyramid.“
“Is it safe?”
“Oh god yes, you buy this pyramid and we email you every week and tell you how it’s getting on.
