You gotta love this guy! This is a true story about a recent Greek wedding
that took place in Astoria, NY.
It was in the local newspaper and even Jay Leno mentioned it. It was a
large wedding with about 600 guests...
At the reception after the wedding, the groom got up on stage with a
microphone to talk to the crowd. He said he wanted to thank everyone for
coming, many from Greece, to support them at their wedding. He especially
wanted to thank the bride's and his family and to thank his new
father-in-law for providing such a lavish reception.
As a token of his deep appreciation he said he wanted to give everyone a
special gift just from him.
So taped to the bottom of everyone's chair, including the wedding party,
was an envelope. He said this was his gift to everyone, and asked them to
open their envelope. Inside each manila envelope was an 8x10 glossy of his
new bride having s..ex with the best man.
The groom had gotten suspicious of them weeks earlier and had hired a
private detective to tail them. After just standing there, just watching
the guests' reactions for a couple of minutes, he turned to the dumbfounded
crowd and said, "I'm outta here. You people could stay here and celebrate
with that PUT..ANA."
He had the marriage annulled first thing in the morning. While most people
would have canceled the wedding immediately after finding out about the
affair, this guy goes through with the charade, as if nothing were wrong.
His rev..enge: Making the bride's parents pay over $92,000 for a 600 guest
wedding and reception, and best of all, trashing the bride's and best man's
reputations in front of 600 friends and family members.
This guy has ba..lls the size of church bells.
Do you think we might get a MasterCard "priceless" Commercial out of this ?
Let's give it a try...
---Elegant wedding reception for 600 family members and
friends.........$92,000.
---Wedding photographs commemorating the occasion.....$4,000.
---Deluxe two week honeymoon accommodations on Mykonos Island....$8,500.
---The look on everyone's face when they see the 8x10 glossy of the bride
and the best man having s..ex..........Priceless!
There are some things money can't buy, ................................for
everything else there's MASTERCARD.

Dido - White Flag lyrics
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,
Or tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I know I left too much mess and
destruction to come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "it's over"
then I'm sure that that makes sense
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
And when we meet
Which I'm sure we will
All that was there
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on....
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
Dido
White Flag
Or tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I know I left too much mess and
destruction to come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "it's over"
then I'm sure that that makes sense
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
And when we meet
Which I'm sure we will
All that was there
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on....
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
