Back when I was "Pizza Boy", the store I
worked at hired Chris. He drove a piece of shit Toyota, a huge broken down
bread truck, and eventually a minivan, which has since caused them more trouble
than a blind lesbian at a fish market. He now drives a vomit green 1972
Ford LTD. He says it's a "classic car". That's one way to put it.
"Old piece of shit that's falling apart at the seams" is another way. He had the bread truck for his business,
and no he isn't a baker. He's the guy that you call when you need your
pipes cleaned. He's a male prostitute...no, actually, he is the local plumber. When I want to know if a
particular restaurant is clean, I ask Chris. Lots of insight to be had, such as
which restaurants have a good supply of mice, roaches, and
general nastiness.
He's married to his high school sweetheart, Cynthia. They have four kids, one
dog, and 19,000 Maine Coon cats. Whenever I'm at their house, I end up getting
all sniffly, runny-nosed, and watery-eyed because of those evil, foul felines. It
gets so bad, that I have to step outside and have a smoke in order to feel good.
She claims her cats are hypoallergenic, and that it must be one of her non-show
cats. I don't care which cat it is, they all need to be terminated with extreme
prejudice. My choice of disposal would be with a wood chipper but she would
frown upon that. The dog, Jayhawk, didn't like me at first, but once I let him
have some of my Papa John's pizza, he quickly became my buddy. Their herd
of children obviously think I'm a tree, because they like to climb on me, hit
me, and throw things at me when I'm in their presence. It's always an
event going to their house. Occasionally, Cynthia will lengthen the leash she
has Chris's balls on for one night a week, so we'll go eat a big fat gonzo sized
steak, have some adult beverages, and shoot some pool. Naturally, being
the nice guy that I am, I let him win. He was in the Army and over in
Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Storm at the same time I was. He was
a grunt on the front lines, while I was busy being a pussy, playing switchboard
operator and making sure HMMWV's (Humvee) didn't disconnect our communication
cable by constantly running over it. However, we didn't know each other
until Pizza Hut a number of years later.
