Beware of what You wish for ...

The first time I heard it was on an episode of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" ... For those who don’t know about the Ninja Turtles , they are a bunch of Turtles who get mutated by weird green florescent radioactive liquid waste and develop human like abilities ... they are then coached in martial arts by a Mutant Rat ... They live in the sewers , are named after 18th century renaissance artists , love Pizza and fight crime and evil ... Now that you have an Idea about my sources of wisdom and inspiration, lemme tell Why I was reminded of it ..

Last night . I was hanging out with a couple of guys from ISB... The reason for this congregation was quite serious...My good friend S lives in an awesome "chamri" (a chamri is like a shared company provided acco..) .. Till now he was living there all alone and having quite a blast ... But come this weekend , a hot chic from his office would be joining him in that apptt... Something which our man has been dreaming of since puberty...

A natural question at this stage is "Why oh wise and sagacious Ford, is this a problem? "
Well it is a huge problem... not for him, but his girlfriend... Like all specimens of the fairer sex, she is quite hysterical at the idea of the love of her life ironing clothes in his boxers with another female (did I mention she was hot?) watching T.V in the same room ...

A follow up comment would be "But Ford , surely you can talk to the poor disoriented girl and talk sense into her …after all its not S's fault"
Of course I can , but then I would just be lying... You see the accused in this case is not as innocent as most of us would like our partners to be ... So in all honesty , the girl friend character is quite justified in her apprehensions ....

But then , a problem is meant to be solved ...
So here we were …the three of us with our good friend Mr. Jonny Walker brainstoming ways for S to get himself out of this mess...

A suggested that when the Hot chic moves in , we make such a ruckus that she just runs off ...
Chic gone , S alone , S's girl friend no longer hysterical , Ford saves the day at smiles at his ingenuity
However a lil back ground check revealed that the chic was quite a party animal herself and would in all probability enjoy it ... Idea scrapped..

The next jewel came from S himself ... Hook up the hot chic with one of us ... I personally thought it was brilliant.. think about it - Chic hooks up with a friend, S tells his girlfriend about it, S's girl friend no longer hysterical , Ford saves the day and smiles at his ingenuity..
But then we were reminded that she actually already has a Boy friend ... darn....

Of course the most obvious solution was for S to tell his girl friend that he would be moving out with one of us soon ... and keep postponing the moving out decision as long as he could... S gets to stay in his apptt , S's girlfriend thinks he would be moving out soon, S's girl friend no longer hysterical , Ford saves the day and smiles at his ingenuity..
Unfortunately, we were told that no girl in this day and age is so stupid as to buy something like that ...We just cant catch a break can we ...

At this point ,we were running out of idea's when Marvin joined us to give a woman’s perspective ...
She said that S should have his girlfriend over more often, make an effort to get her to see that there really is nothing to worry about and get her comfortable with the situation ... and if possible, not iron clothes in his boxers..
Yeah right ... like that would ever work ... S dude I say go with Plan 3 .. its the only one worth a shot ...

and for the future , remember "Beware of what you wish for .... You just might get it "
