Getting Even…

“The odds are against getting even with people because the odds are they’ll get even with you” ~ Robert Half

So, you never had a chance to get even with your ex or your friend or even your co-worker?  Well don’t, don’t be foolish and think that there is such action as “getting even”.  People expect to reap hedonic rewards when they punish an offender, but in at least some instances, revenge has hedonic consequences that are precisely the opposite of what we expect.  Like in the following story!!!!

One December day we found an old straggly cat at our door, she was a sorry sight.  Starving, dirty, smelled terrible, skinny and hair all matted down.

We felt sorry for her so we put her in a carrier and took her to the vet.  We didn’t know what to call her so we named her ‘Pussycat’.  The vet decided to keep her for a day or so.  He said he would let us know when we could come and get her….

My husband (the complainer) said, “OK, but don’t forget to wash her, she stinks.”  He reminded the vet that it was his WIFE (me) that wanted the dirty cat, not him.

My husband and our Vet don’t see eye to eye.  The vet calls my husband ‘El Cheap O’, and my husband calls the vet ‘El Charge O’.

They love to hate eachother and constantly ‘snipe’ at one another, with my husband getting in the last word on this particular occasion….

The next day my husband had an appointement with his doctor, who is located in the same building, next door to the vet.

The MD’s waiting room and office was full of people waiting to see the doctor.  A side door opened and the vet leaned in;  he had obviously seen my husband arrive.

He looked straight at my husband and in a loud voice said, “Your wife’s pussy doesn’t stink any more.  We washed and shaved it, and now she smells like a rose.  Oh, and by the way, I think she’s pregnant.  God only knows who the father is!”  Then he closed the door.

Now, that my friends is getting uneven!!!!
