Gotta tell this story!

Buddy of mine in Anchorage, Alaska had a van, and a Chinese girlfriend.
He got without work and from her perspective, if a man has no job he's
not worth much. After a heated discussion she told him "Leave house,
sleep with dog!!!"

Well, it was night, winter, and there was snow falling. He grabbed a few
things, went out to his van, Turned on his  heater, put some cool music
CD's on the stereo, unrolled his goose down winter sleeping robe, made
himself a hot buttered rum, pulled out a good book, and kicked back!!

In a little while there was hard knock on the van's door.

"Yes?" my friend said.

And a female voice with a sweeter tone than earlier said "You come back
inside house, you too comfortable out here!!!"

The rest of the eveing was very interesting!!!

Don' never sell that van!!!!!
