Peng Peng's Episodes

Thank you for the funny story you sent me. I was laughing very hard while reading it. I will certainly try the same thing (call a stranger and tell him he is a jackass) next time when I am mad (you have no idea how far a tough Taiwanese woman can go when she is mad).

Sorry, instead of returning you with a funny story, all I have here is a depressing one. It is based on a true story.

C and E are good friends. They play tennis once a week. While these two guys are enjoy their tennis playing, P, C’s loving, caring wife, usually stays home and prepares dinner for TWO of them.

One night, as usual, they have a long game (they must play very well, P thinks). They still have not shown up at 9:30. P is almost starving to death and lying on the futon. Poor P insists to wait and enjoy her dinner with C (and possibly E).

Eventually, C comes home with his tennis partner E at 10pm. Not even talking to his wife, C grasps the TV remote control right away and occupy the futon with E. They decide to have a TV dinner since one of C’s favorite program South Park is playing at 10 sharp. P was sitting alone beside the dinning table and watching South Park and these two men. Feeling frustrated, P realizes it is impossible to catch her husband’s attention while South Park is showing but, fortunately, she is able to talk to C and E during commercials.

P was very excited when the cartoon is finally over. Before she speaks, C and E have started their conversation of M3. Then again she has no way (and no intention) to join the conversation. For a moment, she tries to change the topic by showing them the beautiful butterfly pins she got for her mom as the birthday present. These two men are very generous to give their compliments and soon go back to the topic of cars. Well, there is no reason to discuss how many seconds it takes a butterfly to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph, P said to herself—-

C seems to have a wonderful night and looks very happy. After E leaves, P tries to remind her husband: “C, you are the luckiest man in the world AND E is probably the second luckiest one". Unexpectedly, C replies: “No, you are wrong; E is the luckiest one for he is not the one who marries you." Well, obviously, this conversation ends the brief “quality time" P shares with her husband that night. She feels upset and goes to bed. A nice sleep might save her.

Things can get worse. That night, P has a nightmare: P comes home and finds an electrical blue M3 parking in front of her home. While C and E are appreciating this ultimate driving machine, P thinks it is time for her to move over E’s apartment and live with his roommate B (fortunately a lovely female) so that E can stay with C. Men with tennis partners, mobile phones, and M3 probably don’t need anything more. C, E, P, and B live happily since ever.

E, although the story is not very funny but it does have a “happy ending". It should brighten up your day. In case you receive any anonymous phone call shouting “you are a jackass", never mind, it must be a stranger who is indeed very strange.
