Irony and the creepy little man with the suspenders

I had a fun little moment the other night and just had to share it with you all. As some of you know I'm a huge fan of pho. For those who don't know what this is, it's a Vietnamese noodle soup. I say it's instant enlightenment in a bowl, or a bit of heaven in a bowl. I've also heard it refered to as Vietnamese soul food. Anyway I have shared the joy of this simple, but very tasty pleasure with many of my family and friends. I have a favorite restaraunt but it's pretty far away. But fortunately a new one just opened up close by, so I had to try it out and talked my mom into going. (Teri, or the kooky one as I so lovingly refer to her as.) As we sat there waiting for our food we watched the televisions around us. One was showing the olympics, another was showing Larry King. He kind of makes me squeamish for some reason. So the Larry king topic was about people who married someone in prison, even though they would never be released. What I got from it was that these were all murderers of one type or another. One of the guests was a man married to one of the Manson followers, I can't remember her name but she passed away fairly recently. I didn't really pay close attention since I was more interested in bobsledding, and because I didn't want to spoil my appetite by looking at Larry King. So I happen to look up as they are talking about a group of people who dismembered someone, cut out their heart, and all kissed the heart. I'm kind of transfixed for a minute by this, and I was rewarded when he said they were going to talk to some woman about her behind bars husband and went straight to commercial. The first commercial to come on, and the only one that really mattered in my mind, was an add for Eharmony, the matchmaking website. I couldn't help but chuckle about this as did my mother. I still smile just thinking about it. I hope it puts a little smile on your face as well.
