LOS ANGELES (Just Laugh) – Researchers were shocked late Friday evening to learn that Jeanene Goodall, an attractive twenty-something out on a date with Ted MacKenzie that evening, made a purchase at a small ice cream stand and paid not with her date’s money, but with currency that she had actually obtained herself by means of doing work for an employer.
“We’ve never seen this happen before,” cited James Scott, a financial analyst studying trends in the spending habits of men and women as they progress through the various stages of human development. “Typically when a woman is out on a date with a man, it is forbidden in this species’ culture for the woman to even think about paying for anything out of her own pocket, as it could then possibly lead to all sorts of crazy outcomes like both of the daters feeling ripped off financially at the culmination of a lack-luster evening. This could be an interesting shift in the science of dating as we know it!”
Miss Goodall confirmed analyst suspicions early the next morning over coffee as she recalled ‘not being all together’ the night before. “I really don’t know what happened last night – I guess I just had one more Manhattan at TGIFriday’s than I should have because it wasn’t even until this morning that I found the receipt. Apparently I bought a $2 ice cream sandwich that we ’shared’ or something – it’s still all kind of blurry – but if anything, this will definitely serve as a wake-up call for me because I’m not proud of what I did last night. I normally don’t do stuff like that…”
Before we were able to ask further questions, the woman replaced a pair of Oakley sunglasses on her face, gathered her belongings and left the table – mocha del latte in hand. Our reporter picked up the $6.98 tab the woman had left behind for said coffee, citing an excuse that she was incredibly hot.
