News, but not the serious kind
Mom and Dad, the Beautiful People?

I should warn you, I’m kind of emotional today. See, I’m adopted, and I just got a report from a private detective who has tracked down my biological parents after all these years. You can imagine my feelings as I read it.
Hmmm. It says BOTH of my parents were models, which might explain my interest in fashion.
Mom was a runway model for designer Eugene “Toilethead” Johnson, and she “looked graceful in all kinds of plumbing supplies,” whatever that means.
Dad, it seems, “had a stylish flair, exuding a charm that had women swarming around him like roaches on a dead rat.” Wow, this detective has a way with words.
Oh no! Tragically, a month after I was born, Dad was caught smuggling a stolen sapphire bracelet through customs, in his mouth. What was he thinking?
He went to prison, and Mom, broken-hearted, gave me away. She went off to work in Eugene’s metal shop, making uncomfortable but trendy aluminum and copper clothing.
Now for the really tough part. The detective has included a photo of each of them. Trembling, I open the envelope to confront my gene pool for the first time. Well, at least they’ll be glamorous.

PIlotGuy, happy belated birthday. I hope you had a ball!
Robert, I think it’s advisable for you to seek out better psychological advise: “Well, at least they’ll be glamorous.” Not!
Thanks M, missed ya for drinks!
Happy belated birthday, Ifly. And many more!
Thanks Dr. D.!
