I Warned You Not to Touch That

I love bizarre dating stories.  The wackier the better.  In the category of Too Much Information for a first date, I recently heard about a rendezvous that resulted from a Plenty of Fish dating site personal ad.  I find the more unbelievable a story is, the more apt it is to be true.  As it happens, Mike met Ginger at a restaurant to see how the chemistry was in person.  Ginger was a 40-something divorcee who had been married to a man 17 years older than she was.  At some point, Ginger’s hubby decided she was too old and left her for a 20-something woman.  Upon discovering this, Ginger promptly went to the back yard of their McMansion and dug a grave.  

I know what you’re thinking…and I’m with you.  It turns out we’re both wrong.  Much as I expected to hear how hubby was bludgeoned to death with a shovel and fed to the worms, it was Ginger that climbed into her freshly dug hole and, I suppose, had her own near-death experience.  I’m not sure what Mike’s reply was to this disclosure, but I have to believe “Check please”  was soon to follow.
