Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for April 05, 2010

I like yer thinking, Broomie!

Morning, Marg. I should have used that one back in my single days.

Especially for that dancing part…….

She can say that he was “leading” her….

Clever, Broomie, very clever. But will “he” pick up the tab for the dinner and dance?

When you’re the Invisible man you don’t have to dress up on a date.

But where’s he going to carry his wallet to pay for dinner?

Watch out Broomie, if he’s invisible he could be older than 1500.

You don’t want to know, Yukoner.

You could do worse than Claude Rains, Broomie…

“Who’s gonna know?”

Anybody who’s ever met you, Broomie.

Lewreader:

i doubt she told him her age anyhow

Often what is unseen is known by the footprints it leaves behind. (From Starbright’s Addenda to the Laws of Blademastery)

In other words, Broomie, an invisible date that doesn’t do anything that affects his surrounding is even more worthless than your usual visible ones.

Good thing you’re not dating the Visible Man, Broomie; you’d be too grossed-out to enjoy your dinner.

For those who don’t get it: http://www.discoverthis.com/visibleman.html

I can’t see Broomie going out with The Invisible Man.

Eh. One date, and she’ll never see him again…

Eventually, she’ll have to confess that she’s been seeing other people.

An invisible man carries an invisible wallet. Containing invisible money. Which no one will ever accept as payment for anything - same as an invisible credit card.

Mind you, most visible people carry invisible money.

Queen’s song ‘Invisible Man’ speaks about an invisible man who:

“Never had a real good friend, not a boy or a girl; No-one knows what I’ve been through, let my firearms furl; So I’ll make my mark from the edge of the world”.

He was a man most thought of as insignificant, however he was the most significant man in the original Queen band.

I’m a big fan of Queen (I started to type “I’m a big Queen fan” and thought better of it), but if they end up at a karaoke bar they should exchange Beatles songs. Broomie starts off with “I’m Looking Through You”, and he answers with “You Won’t See Me.”

If Broomie has to pay for the date herself, then he’s a clear deadbeat.
