Showing Off

I know this guy who started his own business, secured several large bank loans, and lost his wits.

He was doing quite well, had more business than he’d ever imagined, until he got a major case of the stubies.

He flies to Chicago for his high school reunion, and decides he needs to make an impression on his old friends, especially the ladies. Now, this guy was always weird with women, and I would say seriously socially challenged, but I never thought he was stupid. Until he pulled this shit.

He lands at O’Hare, rents a car, drives to the Ferrari dealership, and pays cash for a new 328-GTSi…over 100 Grand. The salesman asked him if he wanted to test drive it and he confessed he didn’t know how to drive a “stick shift�.

Pick me up off the floor!!! I would’ve loved to see the look on the salesman’s face.

So, the salesman takes him out to the back lot, and in 30 minutes teaches him how to use a clutch and a gearshift “get this� in a Maserati.

He then lurches off in his brand new red Ferrari to pick up a young lady, who by the way was not his wife, for a night of wishful thinking.

Less than 20 miles later, he’d done 27K in damage to the front end, given the girl some non-life threatening injuries, and basically humiliated himself. You see...he wrecked his new toy in front of all his friends in the driveway to the country club. They were all watching him make his grand approach, and he put it into a tree. Dumb ass.

Anyway, this little stunt cost him his marriage and his company. He was divorced and bankrupt before the car got out of the shop, which was 8 months later.

Now that is some Bad Bad Juju.
