Both Sides of the River

My friend Ray grew up in Shreveport. I’m a Vivian boy from down the road. He sent me this story tonight and I don’t know where it came from. It is so funny that I couldn’t help but post it on my blog.

A guy meets a beautiful girl and decided he wanted to marry her right away, she said, "But we don't know anything about each other.”

He said, "That's all right, we'll learn about each other as we go along."

So she consented and they were married and went on a honeymoon to a very nice resort. One morning they were lying by the pool when he got off his towel, climbed up to the 10 Meter board and did a two and a half tuck gainer, followed by three rotations in a jackknife position, where he straightened out and cut the water like a knife. After a few more demonstrations, he came back and lay down on the towel. She said, "That was incredible!"

He said, “I used to be an Olympic diving champion. You see, I told you we'd learn about each other as we went along."

So she got up, jumped in the pool, and started doing laps. After about thirty laps, she climbed back out and lay down on her towel hardly out of breath.

He said, "That was incredible! Were you an Olympic endurance swimmer?"

"No." she said, "I was a hooker in Shreveport/Bossier, Louisiana, and I worked both sides of the river!"
