a resounding yes

Our family is planning on participating in a group trip to the Outer Banks next fall. The coordinator of the trip recently sent out an email to confirm which of the families were planning on going. I found Scott's response too brilliant to be relegated to the cyber-wasteland.


HELLO!

I AM PUTTING MY NAME IN WHETHER MY WIFE WANTS TO GO OR NOT.  SHE CAN STAY HERE WITH THE KIDS IF SHE WANTS TO, BUT I'M GOING. SO PUT "LEE SCOTT RUTHERFORD" DOWN ON YOUR PAPER THERE, ALONG WITH A LITTLE STICK FIGURE OF A GUY FISHING.

I WOULD IMAGINE THAT TACY WILL LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THE REST OF THE FAMILY, BUT THE ODDS ARE THAT SHE WON'T WANT TO STAY BEHIND ALL BY HERSELF FOR A WHOLE WEEK.  SO, ON SECOND THOUGHT, JUST PUT DOWN 10 RUTHERFORDS WITH A STICK FIGURE OF A DAD UNTANGLING 8 FISHING LINES WHILE HIS WIFE LAYS ON THE BEACH SIPING MOJITOS WITH HER NEW BEST FRIEND, KATHY HARTZELL.

IF YOU CAN'T TELL, IT'S VERY LATE IN MY DAY, AND I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WANT TO GO TO THE OUTERBANKS, OR REALLY ANYWHERE . . . TOMORROW WOULD BE GOOD.  SO SERIOUSLY, MARK DOWN THE RUTHERFORD CLAN, WE WANNA BE THERE.



Can you see why I married the guy?
