The Possible

August 21st, 2008

When I was in college my girlfriends and I referred to men who might be husband material as “possibles”.

These were men who made the grade looks-wise, were within the correct age window, and were, above all, ambitious. Ambition was a big thing.

That’s how I ended up talking to Ralph. Ralph seemed like a possible.

Smooth-talking Ralph handed me a business card one evening during happy hour. He was the right age and easy on the eyes, so I stayed to listen to him.

For about an hour he explained his plan for getting rich, filling in all the “money” details such as the number of backers and commercial mailboxes he had, as well as his projected income.

Ralph almost “had me at hello” until he finally told me what his business would be.

Ralph planned to import donkeys as pets.
