Gus the Third

It was definitely a Monday at our house. We suffered a few casualties in the pet department. Brad cleaned our fish tank this morning and it turned into a bigger ordeal then anticipated. Read the IM conversation I have inserted below. I was busting a gut at work while Brad was IM'ing me. Seriously I was laughing so hard I was snorting!!!

Brad: I have some bad news
April Jolley: whats that
Brad: are u sitting
April Jolley: yes
Brad: gus the II died in an industrial accident
April Jolley: lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April Jolley: an industrial accident huh, poor guy
April Jolley: i hope he had workers comp
Brad: and freddie the yellow fish escaped
April Jolley: What!
Brad: and was attacked bye a golden retriever
April Jolley: wow, sounds like this cleaning was a bit tense
Brad: yeah
April Jolley: lmao!
Brad: sorry to say neither died peacefully
April Jolley: lmao, oh my what a morning you have had
Brad: a rescue team could only find remnents of gus the II
Brad: no idea how long he was in there for
Brad: a rush biopsy has been sent out
April Jolley: you have rebecca and i rolling!
Brad: this is no laughing matter
Brad: your lack of respect haunts me
April Jolley: rebecca said we can still do their temple work lol
Brad: gus the II could use that
Brad: drinking is what got him in trouble in the first place

Brad went this afternoon and bought a new Gus (our Crab). We are now on our third crab, and yes they have all been named Gus :) Brad also got a sucker type fish and another colorful one to replace Freddie. So all is well again. I am just thankful he only has to clean the tank about every 2 months!!

Every now and then Brad gets so stinking funny while IM'ing me. A few months ago I was IM'ing with him and he offered to go to Kohl's shopping that night. So I asked "who are you and what have you done with my husband?" He quickly relied "I ATE THAT PLUMP LITTLE MAN!!" We still use that line at work. I was laughing so hard at the time that Rebecca (one of my accounting clerks) came in to see what was the matter. I let her read the message and now it is one of our favorite one liners :) Just out of the blue we will bust out with "I ATE THAT PLUMP LITTLE MAN!!"
