Sandwich Man


Which brings us to this story which I picked up somewhere and “rearranged” to suit local environment and current situation.

Its about a good looking lad from Damansara who had everything going for him. At only 28, he was already making good money as a top executive in a big corporation .He dabbled into the stock market with much success. Hence he lived in the fast lane – driving fancy cars, partying and always surrounded by beautiful girls.

Then the stock market crashed. His world crashed with it. He lot money, lots if it. He could not concentrate on his job. He slid further and was given the boot. He found himself in the dumps. His money, cars and girls all disappeared. No one wanted to be his friend anymore. Finally he decided to end it all. He wanted to commit suicide. But before that he had to do the night club scene one last time. He wanted one last drink. Then he would take his own life.

So he went to one his favourite watering hole in Bangsar .He used to be a regular there. He sat at the bar, ordered his favourite Jack Daniels and paid with all the cash he had on him. He sipped the drink slowly, reminiscing the “glorious years ”. Oh how he really missed those great days and nights ( especially the nights ). What he wouldn’t do to get it all back again.

Suddenly an old woman appeared in front of him She had bad teeth, unkept hair and bad body odour .In short she was ugly. She asked him what was wrong. The lad told her his sad story.

Then the ugly woman whispered into his ears. “I am a fairy and I can bring back your good life. But with one condition. You must make love to me. Not just wham and bang but really make passionate love to me”.

The lad looked at the woman but just as he was about to turn away the thoughts of his previous good life came back to mind. So despite her ugliness, bad teeth and smell, the handsome lad agreed.

He left the club with the ugly old woman in his arms to the stares and sneer of the club’s patrons – almost all knew him. “Go ahead laugh.But after tonight I’ll be rich again and we’ll see who’s laughing ” ,the lad them..

They checked in at a cheap hotel and to make a long story short – the lad made love to the ugly old woman. It was a passionate, torrid and lusty session of love making.
After what was like hours later, the loving making reached its climax. The couple lie in bed ,the lad exhausted, the woman smiling obviously very satisfied.

“ Ok.now make me rich again”, the lad told the woman.
“How?,”asked the woman..
“Use your magic wand.You are a fairy for God’s sake”, said the lad, rather annoyed.
The woman then asked, “ My dear, just how old are you?”.
“Twenty eight “, replied the lad.
The old ugly woman then turned, faced the lad, looked at him in the eyes and said,
“ AND YOU STILL BELIEVE IN FAIRIES ? ”.

Morale of the story? Forget fairies and magic wand.
Listen to the sandwich man. He gives good advice.
