The Parable of the Carmel Apple Shake
This weekend I was at the farmers market because I am all into markets with farmers.
Meaning that I was busy getting myself some expensive fresh bread, some expensive fresh salsa, and some cheap potatoes.
After the buying of the fruit tarts and rasberry confections I wandered around a bit, took my fresh foods and started my trek back to the bachelor apartment.
Somewhere along the way I decided I wanted a health shake so I stopped at the local smoothie place.
After a few minutes of standing at the counter looking for what delicious blend of sherbert, fruits, and powdery goodness I wanted to consume, a cute girl I know comes out and asks me what I want.
Me: *hemin and hawin*
Her: “This over here is good”
Me: *notices a carmel apple shake poster on the wall*
Me: “That looks nasty” *makes gagging noises*
Her: “Oh, its really good, if you like carmel”
Me: “It really looks nasty! Who’d want those two things together”
Her: “Oh no, I really like it”
Me: “Really?”
Her: “Yes, it’s really good”
Me: “Well OK..”
Her: “But you probably want more of a breakfast smoothie”
Me: “Ok. What do you recommend”
Her: “X Smoothie”
And I buy X Smoothie, drink it and walk out the door before I realize
I almost BOUGHT a shake that I was pretty sure was NASTY because a cute girl was telling me she liked it.
All the sudden I realized that poor Adam probably didn’t have a chance… 🙂
…yeah, because Eve knew what she was talking about.
Caramel apple shakes sound disgusting and bad for you, but are actually really good choices!
You are finally catching on to this gig, eh?
Yeah.
I’m a slow learner.
Carrie: You are crazy. 🙂
I might be crazy, but, buddy, I’m right.
You’d be wise to learn that…
Keep on believin that

Dude, you might just have to get corner taken off of your man card for not submitting gracefully to that suggestion. The only way to loose that game was to not play. And that’s exactly what you did. You should have taken the bait and used it to your advantage. I mean just think it through my brotha. If you get the shake and you can actually tolerate it or even like it, you have just proved a woman right in her mind and found something new you like to eat. That would have made her happy and you happy. Then you find out what types of other things she “likes”. The rest is history.
Now if you didn’t like it or really hated it, then you act all disgusted and not only do you get another shake, but you “opened your mind” enough to try someting for HER and failed, so you also get some serious sympathy now. Now she’s out to please you for making you sick. Once again, the perfect opportunity. You could milk that sympathy for weeks and end up getting some serious attention. And of course the rest would have been history. You just have to make sure that if you are seriously going to puke that you don’t do it in front of her.
There’s still a chance….
