Talking to the Wall By Al Zimbler

Mr. and Mrs. Stein, I am here to ask youYes, that is correct. Permission to marry your daughterWhy are you looking at me with that grin and not answering my questionYou want to know more about me?That’s true that is not a large amount of money but I hope to make much more in the futureYes, there is no doubt in my mind that I can afford your daughter RoseYou thought I was going to ask permission to marry Jean, your other

daughter?Yes I know I dated both of them, but I want to marry RoseYou are surprised by my decisionYou want to know what I see in Rose that I didn’t see in Jean?You’re right, they are both tall and good looking but

not being a Mormon I can only marry one of them and I want it to be RoseYes, Mrs. Stein I am sureNo Mr. Stein I am not interested in working for youYes, I know that your company is the largest wholesaler of electrical supplies in the entire world but that is not how I want to spend my time and Rose’s time for the rest of our lives

You say that doesn’t make senseYes I know I am turning down a wonderful opportunity but I hope to be a highly successful author and publish many books in the futureYes, if I can do that, Rose and I will have plenty of moneyOh, you want to know what I have written?You say you have never heard of those books and that you read the New York Times book sections and you are in many book clubs and yet no one you know has heard of meSorry, I am not there yet but I am on Amazon and if you have a computer you can buy my book or order it on KindleYou say you are not computer savvy and it’s your son who is now running your electrical business and he is the computer whiz You tell me that if I joined your company I would have to work for and with your son as you spend most of your time at the club playing golf or in residence in your Florida condo? !
