Joan and Todd turned 30. They both happened to be born in the same month, September. They were in love for 11 months. They shared an apartment in the 4th month. In June, they got a joint credit card together.
They both had decent jobs. Together they earned $60,000.
They said, "it's reasonable to get a 2020 Mitsubishi Lancer. After all. we've been working for 13 years at various jobs! We'll trade in our 2014 Hyundai Sonata and do better."
Their stereo and downpayment were all put on their joint VISA account. The Lancer was stolen. THEN, a greedy person hacked their card and bought all sorts of porn. They walked to the grocery store in 7 degree weather crying. They were so angry and forlorn; they didn't even write out a grocery list.
"Why the hell did you use the Visa to buy new pots and pans?!?" shouted Todd.
"Why the hell did you need to get a brand new computer, printer??!? yelled Joan.
"You didn't need to flash the plastic and get new clothes!" yelled Todd as he got 1 foot from her face. Her rage slammed him against the bricks of the grocery store. He was in pain and horrible shock all at once. What did he hit first???? His sholders or the back of his head!"
As he could see her standing over him with a tear in each eye, she asked, "why are you crying?"
"Because you look great in Salvation Army clothes!" he whimpered back. They couldn't stop crying.
Suddenly, they heard a semi engine's loud, steady idle. His semi was burgundy and had room for 5. "Do we know you???" asked Todd.
"YEAH YOU DO! GET IN NOW!"
Troy blindly got into the truck. Joan had the presence of mind to see that they were getting into a semi saying,
Lake Superior Trucking for Typewriters by Steppenwolf.
She got in when Todd held both of her hands and lifted her in. They were so relieved to get out of the cold.
They were wondering why he was driving so fast....
